KIEV, Nov. 13 – Masked people from state law-enforcement agencies broke into the office of Kiev-based Phoenix Capital investment company on Tuesday, Lesia Orobets, an opposition-minded MP and wife of founder and chairman of the company's board, Oleksandr Omelchuk, wrote on Facebook.

"The people who've broken into the husband's office, having knocked down a security guard, were crying that they're from the department for organized crime control, and now they tell lawyers they're from the tax police," she wrote.
