Among the seized properties are 12 land plots, a seaport complex, apartments, administrative buildings, production workshops, 46 vehicles, 240 units of special equipment.
In Ukraine, the property of the sanctioned Russian oligarch was arrested. The Office of the Prosecutor General reported this on Monday, January 30.
“32 million hryvnias of the largest producer of metallurgical alumina and aluminum hydroxide of Ukraine were arrested. The funds are in the deposit account of the State Customs Service,” the ministry said in a statement.
The message of the Office of the Prosecutor General does not indicate the name of the Russian oligarch, but, according to Interfax-Ukraine, it is Oleg Deripaska.
According to investigators, in 2000 this Ukrainian enterprise was privatized by a holding owned by a Russian oligarch.
“Currently, he is under US and EU sanctions. The basis for their application is money laundering in the interests of the president of the aggressor state,” the supervisory agency said in a statement.
They point out that the Russian holding company (apparently, we are talking about RUSAL – ed.) is one of the largest producers of aluminum in the world, and the group of companies included in it continues to meet the needs of the Russian military -industrial complex by providing its own products for the production of military missiles.complexes and other weapons.
Earlier, at the request of prosecutors, the property of this business entity was arrested – 12 land plots, a seaport complex, apartments, administrative buildings, production workshops, 46 vehicles, 240 units of special equipment.
“Today, the total value of seized assets exceeds UAH 1 billion,” the Prosecutor General’s Office added.
Recall that this month the Ministry of Justice filed a lawsuit to confiscate Oleg Deripaska’s Ukrainian assets. It will be considered by the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court. First on the list of assets is the Nikolaev alumina plant.
Recall that at the beginning of the war, billionaire Oleg Deripaska announced the need for a “close peace” in Ukraine. And in early October last year, he was under sanctions in Ukraine.
