Viktor Pshonka was a Prosecutor General of Ukraine, State Counselor of Justice 
of Ukraine and member of the High Council of Justice of Ukraine during 
Yanukovych's reign. Similarly to Viktor Yanukovych, Pshonka has lived in an 
extremely luxurious residence that contained a swimming pool, lavish decoration 
and art pieces. He has been accused of misappropriating money allocated for the 
construction of a new Prosecutor General’s Office building. He allegedly holds a 
Russian passport and is likely to be currently residing in Russia.
