Ukraine detains central banker in suspected theft of $170 million | Reuters:



"The Ukrainian prosecutor's office has detained a deputy head of the central bank on suspicion of involvement in the theft of more than $170 million in state funds.



Borys Prykhodko was appointed to his position during the presidency of Viktor Yanukovich, whose rule was marred by accusations of widespread corruption. He is the most senior official detained since Yanukovich's overthrow in February. 




"Prykhodko has been remanded in custody", First Deputy Prosecutor General Mykola Herasimyuk told a news conference."
