The National Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA) has launched a large-scale inventory of court orders received by the Agency since its establishment in 2016.

Every day, ARMA receives between 300 and 700 court orders, including those that lift arrests. Analyzing and systematizing all court rulings accumulated over the eight years of the National Agency's operation is critical for effective asset management.

To ensure that this work is done accurately, a working group was set up with the participation of representatives of ARMA and the Prosecutor General's Office, headed by Deputy Head of ARMA Stanislav Petrov. The working group currently includes 15 specialists from ARMA and the PGO. In the future, it is planned to involve representatives of the State Judicial Administration.

During the first meeting of the working group, which took place at ARMA, the parties agreed on a step-by-step action plan and mechanisms for further cooperation.

The Head of ARMA, Olena Duma, who opened the meeting, emphasized:

“The law enforcement and anti-corruption systems must be one and the same. We cannot allow chaos in documentation or gaps in cooperation to become an obstacle to the return of assets to the state. The inventory of court orders will allow us to establish a transparent, automated system of accounting and management of seized assets in real time.”

Oleh Pelepiuk, Head of the Department for Supervision over Compliance with Laws by the National Police of Ukraine and Bodies Fighting Organized Crime, Prosecutor General's Office, emphasized:

“It is the cooperation between the Prosecutor General's Office and ARMA that will yield concrete results in the management of seized assets. We fully support this initiative and are ready for fruitful cooperation.”

The inventory will result in a prompt and automated exchange of up-to-date data, which will allow for an immediate response to any changes in the status of seized assets.
