Russian Ex-Minister's Swiss Bank Account Frozen in Misappropriation Case – Report


Swiss powers have blocked financial balances fitting in with previous Russian Horticulture Minister Yelena Skrynnik as a feature of an examination concerning government evasion, the Interfax news office reported Wednesday, refering to a unidentified source near the matter. 

Resources worth 60 million Swiss francs ($61 million) were solidified after a request by the Swiss prosecutor's office, the source said. 

As indicated by the office, the move was associated with an examination concerning Rosagroleasing, a state organization that rents gear to Russia's agrarian segment and was controlled by Skrynnik before she got to be farming clergyman in 2009, a position she held for a long time. 

The case concerns 1.125 billion rubles ($18 million) that was evidently stolen from Rosagroleasing by authorities and representatives. The source told Interfax that examiners were testing the cause of $140 million kept on Skrynnik's records in Swiss banks somewhere around 2007 and 2012. 
The ex-clergyman, who as of now lives in France, is named a witness for the situation, the source said. 

In a meeting with the Russian News Administration radio station on Wednesday, Skrynnik denied the report. 

"It's aggregate falsehoods. I don't have that kind of cash," she said. She declined to say whether she had outside ledgers. 

In a related episode, Interfax gave an account of Tuesday that the Russian Prosecutor General's Office had requested that Swiss powers seize 12 million Swiss francs ($12 million) on the records of a previous agent farming clergyman, Alexei Bazhanov, who acted as Skrynnik's delegate for a long time.
