The property of Yanukovych's confidant worth more than 1 billion hryvnias, who is suspected of financing occupation groups of the Russian Federation, was seized.

This is reported by the Security Service of Ukraine.

According to «Ukrainian Pravda», it is about Mykola Yankovskyi, he was a confidant of fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych and was a member of the banned Party of Regions.

The total amount of blocked assets is more than 1 billion hryvnias. We are talking about bank accounts and 4 apartments in Kyiv, a house and land near the capital, as well as 7 premium cars, including a Maybach.

According to the materials of the case, even before the start of the full-scale war, the former deputy went abroad and organized the wholesale production of medical drugs for the illegal armed formations of the terrorist organization «DNR».

«First of all, these are painkillers for first-aid kits of the rashists (Russian occupiers, — note) and military hospitals of the self-proclaimed republics. For the production of medicines, the former deputy of the People's Republic of Ukraine used a pharmaceutical company controlled by him in the temporarily captured Horlivka in Donetsk region. «After opening accounts in the «Republican Bank of the DNR», the company involved annually paid taxes to the budget of the terrorist organization «DNR», which later went to finance illegal armed formations,» the report says.

An investigation is underway to establish all the circumstances of the crime and bring them to justice regarding the ex-Deputy of the People's Republic and other persons involved.

Earlier it was reported that the State Bureau of Investigation announced suspicion of desertion to 15 former bodyguards of fugitive ex-president Viktor Yanukovych. They fled to Russia in 2014.
