At the request of the Security Service of Ukraine, the National Agency of Ukraine for Finding, Tracing and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes (ARMA) successfully found assets belonging to members of an organized criminal group that was embezzling funds allocated for the care of patients.
According to the investigation, a state institution transferred over UAH 75 million to a company to provide care for persons with mental and behavioral disorders. Instead, the company’s officials misappropriated the funds, channeling them through the accounts of controlled sole proprietors.
Employees of ARMA’s Department for Finding and Tracing of Financial and Other Assets conducted a comprehensive analysis of information on the suspects and their assets. As a result, they found and traced unlawfully acquired property, including:
- 25 land plots;
- 4 residential properties;
- 2 non-residential properties;
- a premium-class car;
- 2 firearms;
- 2 watercraft;
- equity interests in companies worth over UAH 18,000.
The collected information has been forwarded to law enforcement authorities for seizure pursuant to rulings and subsequent transfer into ARMA’s management.
