Ex-owners of Nadra Bank wanted in Latvia for the same fraud as in Ukraine

"Last week, on July 25, the State Treasury of Latvia was forced to pay EUR 57.5 million to Italian bank UniCredit SpA as a remainder of the main amount of a publicly guaranteed loan received from the Italian bank by Liepajas Metalurgs Plant," the journalist wrote.

Now, he said, through Liepaja Court, the authorities are trying to return the money to the state budget. However, the plant's assets put as a bail cover only 20-50% of the loan amount. At this time, the Latvian police seized the shares of the steel plant owned by Sehal.

However, the author recalls that Sehal brothers are currently wanted by Interpol for a similar fraud they committed in Ukraine.

According to Chalenko, the belief of the United States that Ukraine is not sufficiently democratic, which was formed in connection with the case of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, obliges the United States to doubt the requests of Ukrainian law enforcement agencies for the extradition of fraudsters. Using this, Sehal brothers, followed by Tymoshenko, filing a lawsuit at the district court of New York, are trying to cover their transactions with politics.

In this connection, the blogger wonders whether the U.S. will ignore the requests of the EU member state to extradite Sehal in the same way as Ukraine's requests.
