Masked Ukrainians and journalists gained access to the extravagant house belonging to the nation's former prosecutor general, Viktor Pshonka, outside of Kiev on Monday. An order had been issued to arrest Pshonka, according to Reuters, but local media reported that he escaped detention on Saturday.

While Pshonka's estate does not appear to contain the restaurant and large collection of vehicles found at ousted President Viktor Yanukovych's country house, it certainly rivals the former leader's residence in terms of ornateness.
