KYIV. Apr 5 (Interfax-Ukraine) – A court, having considered the materials submitted by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), ruled to seize another two land plots with real estate property on them that were illegally owned by Oksana Marchenko, the wife of former Ukrainian parliamentarian Viktor Medvedchuk.
The overall cost of the seized property is estimated at around UAH 17.5 million, the SBU said on the Telegram channel on Wednesday.
