A Spanish court issued a warrant allowing seizure of an apartment and a bank account in the territory of the Kingdom of Spain, belonging to E. M. Horbatenko, a judge in one of the city courts of Luhansk region.

The judge is accused of taking undue advantage for perversion of justice in a trial, the press service of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine reported on 14 July.

The seizure of property in Spain was owing to effective collaboration of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine with foreign authorities in the framework of international legal assistance, the report reads.

Earlier, the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine removed Horbatenko from office.
