Former owner of Russian mobile phone retailer Euroset Yevgeny Chichvarkin has bought a bottle of Shabo cognac of 1898 and a bottle of Mouton Rothschild wine which were earlier stolen from the museum of corruption and earlier belonged to Viktor Yanukovych for GBP 20,400, Chichvarkin wrote on his Facebook page.

"A gift bought for the money stolen from the Ukrainian people was made to the main Ukrainian swindler, and then it was stolen from the museum of corruption via the corrupted guard and it was sold bypassing the budget of Ukraine to us. The price is GBP 4,500. Mouton Rothschild of 1945 for GBP 15,885.60 from the same source," he wrote.

Chichvarkin posted the photos of the bottles on his Facebook page.

The cost of the two bottles at the official exchange rate of the National Bank of Ukraine is UAH 737,300.

Chichvarkin has been living in London since 2008 where he founded the Hedonism Wine store.
