Police Seize Russian Factory of Ukrainian Confectioner Roshen | The Moscow Times:
"Police have seized a chocolate factory in the Russian city of Lipetsk belonging to Ukrainian confectioner Roshen, Ukraine's Foreign and Economic Ministries said Thursday.
A company spokeswoman said that the police's presence at the factory was the result of a criminal case being opened against Roshen in Russia, though the suspected crimes are unknown, Reuters reported. She added that the company's Russian accounts were frozen last week.
A statement from the Ukrainian ministries said that Russian riot police had taken control of the facility on Wednesday without producing any documents and that Roshen executives had not received any official warnings.
The ministries added that the seizure of assets in Russia violates international law and the principle of private property, also cautioning that the episode "set a dangerous precedent, which could backfire.""
