"This is another vivid example of the coordinated work of prosecutors and pre-trial investigation bodies, of our common principled position to defend the interests of the state and every Ukrainian!" noted Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin.

As Ukrainian News Agency reported, earlier the Security Service of Ukraine and the Prosecutor General's Office transferred to the ARMA money and property in the total amount of about UAH 500 million.
