MOSCOW, March 24 (RAPSI) – Swiss authorities  in 2014blocked access to accounts holding over 500 million euros that belong to Russians who are suspected of having committed crimes in Russia, Prosecutor General Yury Chaika said on Tuesday.

He added that courts in France and Italy have seized over 300 million euros in illegally transferred funds from Russia.

Chaika said Russian law enforcement authorities are focused on returning assets that were illegally transferred from Russia.

The current geopolitical situation has not affected cooperation between Russian prosecutors and their foreign colleagues, according to Chaika. Last year, the Prosecutor General’s Office took part in over 320 international law-enforcement actions.
