Ship owner Victor Restis was arrested earlier in the day, on charges of embezzlement and money laundering. Mr. Restis appears to be implicated in a number of risky loans that were issued from the FBBank.
Mr. Restis appears to have taken out a loan of 5.8 million euros, which was granted to a company owned by the Restis family. The investigation was initiated after an FBBank employee filed a complaint at the authority for tackling money laundering. The police are also searching for three more individuals involved in the case.
