Ukraine is preparing to nationalize the assets of Yanukovych’s former security chief

The Ministry of Justice appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court with a claim for the recovery of the seized assets of the former head of the security service of the fugitive president Viktor Yanukovych in state revenue. This was reported by the press service of the Office of the Prosecutor General on Thursday, September 26.

The total value of seized property is more than 100 million Hryvnia. We are talking about funds, a hotel complex in Bukovel, land plots, corporate rights, apartments and parking spaces in Kyiv, a Mercedes-Benz GL 550 car.

The former head of the former president’s security service was accused of aiding the aggressor state and illegally possessing weapons. According to the investigation, after the start of the full-scale invasion, he illegally left the territory controlled by Ukraine.

While in the territories of Donbass and Crimea occupied by the Russian Federation, he helped his son, an employee of the FSB of the Russian Federation, in the search for patriotic Ukrainians in the occupied territories. Subsequently, the accused headed the security service of the governor of the Ulyanovsk region of the Russian Federation. He is wanted in Ukraine.

Based on the evidence collected, a case was filed in court to impose sanctions on the former head of the fugitive presidential security service – the recovery of properties that belong to him in the state.

Let’s recall that earlier the Odessa Regional Prosecutor’s Office transferred to the management of ARMA the seized apartment of a Russian military leader, which he wanted to sell illegally for one and a half million dollars.

Since the beginning of Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, 58 Ukrainian companies belonging to collaborators, Russians or related persons who supported the war have been owned by Ukraine.
