The Prosecutor General's Office asked courts to arrest Prysyazhnyuk in early 2014 on charges of
embezzlement worth more than 270 million hryvnias and they asked the court for restraint in the form of detention. On 21 March 2014, law enforcement officers seized both dollars and hryvnias from him, and Switzerland froze his bank account on 28 February. On 7 April, he was put on the wanted list of Ukraine and the
Pechersk District Court of Kyiv gave permission for him to be detained. In 2017 the Prosecutor General's Office started the process of applying to the court permission to convict him
in absentia. == References ==
