We show that the fragment partitions and kinematic characteristics of fragments can change in the presence of an external Coulomb field at statistical multifragmentation of highly excited nuclei. There are indications that this effect takes place at intermediate energy peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions. The phenomenon has general importance for understanding disintegration processes affected by long-range forces.
