The bank assets, which allegedly belong to former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych and people close to him, were frozen on May 4 under the decree of the Federal Prosecutor of Switzerland.
This is reported by Reuters, with reference to the Swiss mass media.
Swiss newspaper Zentralschweiz am Sonntag said Switzerland's federal prosecutor had opened five investigations against individuals suspected of money-laundering. The total amount of money, frozen in connection with the investigations, is 170 million Swiss francs (about 140 million euros).
According to the mass media, the Swiss government ordered the freezing of the assets of 20 Ukrainians, including Yanukovich and his son Oleksander, as well as his 20 close associates, at the end of February. In March, it added the names of nine more Ukrainians to the list of people concerned by the measures.
