To transfer gold stolen and exported from the country by former President Viktor Yanukovych's entourage, Switzerland demands to provide evidence.

As reported by the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs of Switzerland, in response to a request from the General Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine, the return of frozen assets of the Ukrainian authorities can occur only after their illegal origin is established by the court.

However, the department can not name the exact amount of frozen assets, explaining that to date, Ukrainian assets are estimated at about 70 million Swiss francs, but the estimate of the amount can be changed depending on a number of criteria, such as currency fluctuations, cost of equity, removal of persons subject to freezing and partial release of frozen assets.

The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine counts on the assistance of the International Center for Asset Recovery financed by Switzerland, Liechtenstein and the United Kingdom.

At the same time, the Federal Prosecutor's Office, as the responsible law enforcement agency in Switzerland, has information about this case. However, on the basis of official secrecy and investigations, the Federal Prosecutor's Office has not yet been able to comment on any current criminal cases. As always, the presumption of innocence is applied to all those involved, - the reply to the request of the GPU.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, gold representative of the "Yanukovych family" was found in Switzerland. A large amount of gold was in the bank cells of one of the representatives of the so-called family of the former president of Ukraine. On this on Monday, September 4, during a briefing in Nikolaev, said the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko.
