Late last week the Ukrainian Ministry of Incomes and Fees froze bank accounts of WebMoney in the Ukraine.
A search of WebMoney’s Keiv office allegedly revealed a number of regulatory violations. It seems authorities are concerned that WebMoney was issuing electronic money without authorization from The National Bank of Ukraine.
Authorities seized computer equipment and “Over 60 million Hryvnas ($7.5 million) held in the bank accounts of companies which were part of in the illegal system,” according to the Ministry of Incomes and Fees.
Update: WebMoney Ukraine resumes transactions.
