Assets of the Russian oligarch arrested according to the materials of the National Police transferred to the ARMA for almost UAH 800 million
We are talking about tens of thousands of tons of iron ore, which was intended to be delivered by sea to enterprises of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation, in particular, the rocket-building industry. At the same time, they tried to hide the actual destinations.
The police continue to carry out a complex of systemic measures, thanks to which it detects and further directs to the benefit of the state the assets of representatives of the Russian oligarchy and holdings involved in financing the war against Ukraine.
According to their results, employees of the investigative department of the Odessa police, the regional department of strategic investigations and the prosecutor's office found 50,000 tons of iron ore on the territory of one of the ports.
The mentioned mineral party belongs to the company of a Russian oligarch from the immediate circle of the Kremlin political elite.
It was established that the ore was delivered to the port in January 2022 for further shipment to industrial facilities of the Russian Federation. However, after Russia's full-scale invasion of the territory of Ukraine against the oligarch — the beneficial owner — the sanctions of the National Security Council, the United States and the European Union have been applied. Therefore, the owners were looking for ways to take the diggers out of Ukraine. In order to hide the real destination, the iron ore was planned to be sent by sea to companies in different parts of the world that are part of the Russian oligarch's holding, and then to Russian air defense enterprises, in particular the missile industry.
In the framework of criminal proceedings, which is being investigated on the fact of financing actions committed with the aim of forcibly changing or overthrowing the constitutional order or seizing state power, changing the boundaries of the territory or the state border of Ukraine, more than 50,000 tons of iron ore worth UAH 800 million were arrested.
In accordance with the decision of the Kyiv District Court of the city. Odessa, the property of the Russian oligarch was transferred for commercial use to the National Agency of Ukraine for the detection, search and management of assets obtained from corruption and other crimes. The funds received from such use will go to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
