Court Freezes Titles to Yanukovych’s Vintage Cars

Pecherskyi District Court of Kyiv froze the titles to vintage cars of ex-President Viktor Yanukovych that were found in his residence Mezhyhirya after he fled Ukraine, according to a court decision dated July 7.

The cars officially belonged to a private company managed by Oleksandr Fainitskyi, an assistant to ex-MP Petro Melnyk of the Party of Regions, the court decision reads.

According to the decision, the property was frozen "to ensure criminal proceedings and the possibility to seize the property." The cars are currently in the Museum of Retro Cars in Mezhyhirya.

A total of 27 cars from Yanukovych’s collection were subject to the ruling, including GAZ, Mercedes, Ford, ZIL, Volkswagen and other models. The oldest car from this list was produced in 1938.
