KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's prosecutor general said on Thursday it had issued a warrant to find and detain Serhiy Kurchenko, the chairman of energy firm Vetek, on suspicion of stealing state property.

Prosecutors said the business activities of multi-millionaire Kurchenko, whose industrial empire grew rapidly under ousted president Viktor Yanukovich, had caused more than 1 billion hryvnias (60 million pounds) damage to national interests.
