Immediately after arrival, she was detained by Border Guard servicemen detained Bohatyryova at Kyiv International Airport and passed her to the law enforcers, Interfax-Ukraine reported.

Bohatyryova is suspected in the embezzlement of state funds on an especially large scale. After detention, the ex-minister spent the night in the remand center on Hlybochitska street. On August 28, the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv should choose a preventive measure for Bohatyryova.

The Interior Minister Arsen Avakov confirmed the detention of Bohatyryova.

In August 2016, Interpol stopped investigative measures against Raisa Bohatyryova, but on the same year, November 25, the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv again allowed the PGO to start an investigation against Bohatyryova in absentia, after which she was summoned for questioning in Kyiv, but she did not show up.

As The Journalist reported, PGO calls Portnov for questioning.
