According to the investigation, the offenders in the criminal proceedings used shell companies to trade with representatives of the aggressor country, supplying specialized goods.

Pursuant to a request from a law enforcement agency, employees of the Asset Recovery and Tracing Department of the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA) used available tools and access to relevant databases to identify and trace the offenders' assets.

In particular, non-residential real estate, land plots, motor vehicles, intangible assets - intellectual property rights, shares in authorized capital, as well as money in bank accounts worth almost 40 million UAH were identified and traced.

“We promptly respond to law enforcement requests to identify and trace the assets of those involved in such cases. ARMA is ready to ensure budget revenues through effective management of seized assets identified in the framework of criminal proceedings,” said Pavlo Velykorechanin, Deputy Head of the ARMA.

The information on the identified assets has already been transferred to the pre-trial investigation body to take measures to seize the identified assets and then transfer them to the management of ARMA.
