In light of receiving court decisions canceling the seizure of funds placed on ARMA's deposit accounts, the Agency hereby states the following.
It is well known that in the practice of returning ARMA assets, there have been cases of falsification of court decisions, which may entail negative consequences (for example, unlawful return of funds to persons to whom they did not belong). Therefore, the National Agency draws attention to the fact that in order to properly execute court decisions within the limits and in the manner prescribed by the legislation of Ukraine, ARMA will return assets (funds) whose seizure has been canceled to their rightful owners upon receipt of a prosecutor's decision or a legally binding court decision. Such decisions should explicitly cancel the seizure of funds or bank metals deposited in ARMA accounts within the powers granted by law.
Pavlo Velykorechanin, Deputy Head of ARMA, stated, "The legal owners of the funds whose seizure has been canceled must submit duly certified documents to ARMA, confirming the authenticity of the legal owner's signature by means of electronic signature certification. Additionally, they must provide documents with full bank account details confirming that the account belongs to a certain person."
In addition, the court decision must be available in the Unified State Register of Court Decisions.
