Oligarch named in Al Jazeera investigation faces questioning
Officials have summoned one of the Ukraine’s biggest gas tycoons for questioning over his links to $1.5bn that was found by prosecutors to have been stolen by former President Viktor Yanukovych. Fuchs will face questions about a case opened in May last year that focuses on “assisting the unidentified persons of a criminal organisation” whose actions could have compromised the seizure of the $1.5bn. Al Jazeera released the 99-page order in January, which specified the companies involved and relied on information gleaned from a “straw-man” – a proxy or nominee director of one of the Cyprus shell companies. We didn’t buy.” Fugitive businessman Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit exposed the prospective seller of Quickpace – the $160m company – as fugitive businessman Sergey Kurchenko. In April, Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Action Centre reported that he had taken control of 19 permits, making him the second biggest operator behind former Yanukovych minister Mykola Zlochevsky.
