Under former President Leonid Kuchma, Ihor Bakay headed the department responsible for state property. He has Russian citizenship and is currently living in Russia.
Ukraine's Prosecutor-General's Office today said it had completed its own investigation into Bakay, compiling a 100-volume case based on charges of abuse of office.
A spokesman said Bakay has allegedly cost Ukraine losses of some $70 million.
Ukraine has put Bakay on an international wanted list, but Moscow has said it will not extradite him.
