At the invitation of the National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime of the Kingdom of Norway (Økokrim), a delegation from the National Agency of Ukraine for Finding, Tracing and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes (ARMA) took part in the annual report presentation held in Oslo, Norway.

The delegation was represented at the event by Pavlo Velykorechanin, Deputy Head of ARMA, and Vladyslav Zhornitsky,  Head of the Department of International Cooperation and European Integration. Representatives of the National Agency presented key developments in the field of asset finding, tracing and management, emphasising the role of these processes in strengthening the economic security of the state during the armed aggression of the russian federation.

Deputy Head of ARMA Pavlo Velykorechanin noted that Ukraine’s unique experience is creating a new paradigm for effective asset finding, tracing, and management:

“The invitation of ARMA to Økokrim’s annual report demonstrates the recognition of Ukraine as an equal participant in the European architecture of combating crime and corruption. We have shown that even under the most difficult conditions of war, we are able to ensure transparency of processes, professionalism, and tangible revenues to the State Budget. This strengthens international trust and opens up new opportunities in the field of asset Recovery.”

ARMA’s participation in the event was an important step towards deepening cooperation with European partners, as well as a tool for shaping common approaches to combating financial crime and restoring justice.
