The Austrian Prosecutor's Office has submitted a request to the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine for assistance in investigating criminal proceedings against Ukrainian Presidential Administration Chief Borys Lozhkin. This information was shared by MP Serhiy Leshchenko on his blog on the Ukrainian Press Service.
Leshchenko notes that Lozhkin's name appears in a criminal case opened by Austrian law enforcement agencies for money laundering. The MP wrote that Prosecutor General's Office head Viktor Shokin received the request from Austria several weeks ago and is keeping it completely secret.
According to Leshchenko, in addition to Lozhkin, two other Ukrainian citizens are involved in the money laundering case. The case itself concerns the 2013 sale of the Ukrainian Media Holding, owned by Boris Lozhkin. According to unconfirmed reports, Lozhkin's company's transactions were conducted through a number of offshore entities and accounts in Austrian banks, which is what attracted the prosecutor's attention.
Lozhkin himself denies any investigations against him by Austrian law enforcement agencies.
Let us recall that Boris Lozhkin sold his media holding company to the company of oligarch Sergei Kurchenko in 2013.
