KYIV, July 15 (Reuters) - Ukraine's state bureau of
investigation DBR said on Thursday that Kostyantin Zhevago,
ultimately the controlling shareholder of London-listed iron
pellet producer Ferrexpo, had been put on an
international wanted list.
The bureau said that Zhevago, a former lawmaker and former
beneficiary owner of Finance & Credit Bank, was wanted on
suspicion of embezzlement and money-laundering in connection
with the disappearance of $113 million from the now bankrupt
lender.
Earlier, in December 2019, Ukraine also reported that
Zhevago had been put on an international wanted list for the
same investigation, but in 2020 a Ukrainian court overturned the
decision to detain him.
Reuters was unable to reach Zhevago or his legal
representatives for immediate comment.
