The European Public Prosecutor’s Office – EPPO is prepared to fight against criminals who hide the origin, destination or right of ownership of goods and assets that fall under the EU sanctions, said on Saturday the European Chief Prosecutor, the Romanian Laura Codruța Kovesi, who was in Ukraine where she participated in the „United For Justice” conference in Lviv. According to the official, this would help slow Russia’s war effort and, with confiscations following prosecutions, this would even help fund the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war. Laura Codruța Kovesi also said that she traveled to Ukraine to take a stand against the „new avatar of radical evil” and that the EPPO must also be given powers in the area of verifying compliance with EU sanctions against Russia.
