The SSU initiated the seizure and transfer of the assets of a russian-controlled enterprise in Vinnytsia worth over UAH 2 bln (USD 49 mln) to the National Agency of Ukraine for Detection, Tracing and Management of Assets Obtained from Corruption and Other Crimes (ARMA).

The company in question is an enterprise in Vinnytsia, which specializes in production of household chemicals. Its owner is a russian oligarch and a member of the united russia political party.

The following assets have been transferred to be managed by the state:

• corporate rights in the form of 100% of the authorized capital in the amount of over UAH 1.5 bln (USD 36.9 mln);
• finished products and raw materials worth over UAH 500 mln (USD 12 mln), stored at the company’s warehouses.

The top management of the enterprise tried to hide the finished goods and raw materials from nationalization. After the start of russia’s full-scale invasion, they began withdrawing assets from Ukraine in the interests of the russian owner.

Due to the SSU’s intervention, the scheme was exposed and the withdrawal of assets was prevented. The seizure of assets was carried out within the criminal proceedings.

The pre-trial investigation is underway.

The SSU Office in Vinnytsia region has been working on the case together with the National Police under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
