The Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA) has taken into management cash funds seized in the course of a pre-trial investigation initiated against a criminal group that organized a fraudulent call center in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

According to the investigation, the suspects made mass scam calls to citizens of Ukraine and other countries, deceiving them in order to obtain personal data and unlawfully acquire their funds. During searches conducted at the suspects’ residences, law enforcement officers seized over UAH 11.7 million in various currencies. These funds were recognized as physical evidence and seized.

In accordance with a court decision, the funds have been transferred to ARMA’s management and have already been deposited into the Agency’s escrow account.

ARMA will subsequently direct these funds toward the purchase of military government bonds — a resource that strengthens the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the national economy, and Ukraine’s financial resilience.
