Kyiv Court of Appeals unfroze the accounts of Pari, one of the companies in Burisma Holdings, the gas extraction holding entity that belongs to the former Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Mykola Zlochevskyi, Ukrinform reports.

The related court decision was published in the Unified State Register of Court Judgements on July 25. The panel of judges chaired by Ivan Rybak concluded that there was no sufficient evidence that the assets of the company could have been obtained unlawfully and may be subject to special confiscation.
