An article in Der Standard clarifies that Hypo Vorarlberg, an Austrian bank, was responsible for looking into the provenance of their income by international anti-moneylaundering laws (FATF), especially since it was publicly known that the two brothers are Ukrainian politicians. German original follows. derstandard.at/1389858413776/Hypo-Vorarlberg-Kritik-an-ukrainischen-Politik-GeschaeftenAustrian Hype Vorarlberg Bank confirms that Kluyev brothers lied Hypo Vorarlberg, an Austrian bank, has confirmed the authenticity of the documents in which Andriy and Serhiy Kluyev gave false information. Hypo Governor Michael Grahammer however has whitewashed the situation, saying that that Kluyev and his brother mistakenly did not identify themselves as politically exposed persons in the documentation. After an article about providing false information and violating Austrian law was published, the two Kluyevs declared that they had never signed the document. A facsimile of the Austrian banks form filled by Andriy and Serhiy Kluyev was sent to Ukrainska Pravda. In this document, the Kluyev brothers were asked whether they were politically exposed persons, or not. Both brothers indicated no, clearly violating Austrian banking lawks, as at the time of filling, February 22, 2010, they were national deputies (MPs) of Ukraine. This may look like a minor blunder, but such an offense can be cause for a lawsuit to stop or place severe fines against major business interests that the Kluyevs have in Austria. This will be a powerful blow to one of the most powerful allies of Viktor Yanukovych.
