Austria Probes Azarov Son, Other Ukrainians on Money Laundering

Austrian authorities are investigating several Ukrainians close to the former government on money-laundering suspicions, prosecutors said.

Among the suspects are former Prime Minister Mykola Azarov’s son Oleksiy and other Ukrainians targeted by European Union sanctions, Thomas Vecsey, a spokesman for Vienna prosecutors, said via telephone. They are probed after Austrian banks reported suspicious capital flows earlier this year, Vecsey said. He declined to identify other people than Azarov.
