KIEV, March 31 – The raid as part of an investigation at the National Bank of Ukraine is also linked to operations of Platinum Bank, head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) Nazar Kholodnytsky, said.

"This is linked to abusive practices, including linked to the operation of Platinum Bank, as investigators are following the clues leading to the deliberate increase of liquidity and the reduction of economic risks any financial institutions usually have," Kholodnytsky told reporters in Kiev.
