The Kyiv Appellate Court has passed the judgment on unblocking the pension account of the former Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov, as it is said in the judgement dated February 4, 2016.
The appeal petition with the requirement to unblock the pension for the fugitive official was submitted by the attorney, disputing the decision of the first instance. Legal advocates state that the pension is “the only source of subsistence” for Azarov.
The Appellate Court came to conclusion that the first instance arrested not the suspect’s property, but his right to obtain pension, not specifying the purpose of arresting the account.
The judgment of appellate court is not subject to any appeal.
Since February 6, 2008, Azarov obtains pension, amounting to UAH 17.253 ths.
On December 21 the Kyiv Pechersk District Court arrested pensions on current account in the State Savings Bank of the former President Victor Yanukovych and the former Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov.
