It is about tons of iron ore and the authorized capital of Peter-Service Ukraine. The Supreme Anti -Corruption Court of Ukraine decided to confiscate the assets of the Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov, a billionaire from Uzbekistan, worth two billion hryvnias (about $ 48 million). About it reports "Ozodlik Radiosi".

In addition, cases were initiated on suspicion of non -payment of taxes and money laundering, violation of sanction legislation.

Resonant searches were conducted on the objects that the investigation associated with his name. The European Union substantiated its decision with "special ties" with Usmanov with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his "active support for destabilization of Ukraine". Usmanov denies that he has special ties with Putin and that he can have any influence on political decisions made by the Russian leadership.
