In Austria and France, cars and real estate of those involved in the case of the former head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine Dmitry Sennichenko were seized.
Anti-corruption authorities reported that in Austria and France the assets of suspects in the NABU case were seized for losses of more than UAH 700 million. We are talking about a case involving Sennichenko.
This is the result of the activities of a joint investigative team consisting of NABU detectives, SAPO prosecutors and law enforcement agencies of Austria and France.
In particular, at the request of the SAPO prosecutor heading this group, Austrian law enforcement officers arrested and seized premium cars used by the suspects.
Earlier, within the framework of the same joint investigative group in France, the suspects’ real estate with a total value of approximately 6.5 million euros was seized.
Investigators are also said to be identifying other assets and making efforts to locate and extradite suspects.
Let us recall that in October 2022, journalist Mikhail Tkach noticed the ex-chairman of the State Property Fund Sennichenko on the Cote d’Azur of France. Subsequently, Ukrayinska Pravda reported that Sennichenko registered a company in Valencia, Spain.
Sennichenko is suspected of leading a criminal organization that took possession of more than 700 million UAH from the Odessa port plant and the United Mining and Chemical Company. Sennichenko and his accomplices are also suspected of laundering more than UAH 10 billion.
In addition to Sennichenko, the suspects are also his adviser Yuri Lipko, co-organizer of the schemes Andrei Gmyrin, former acting directors of OPP Nikolay Sinitsa and Nikolay Parsentyev, ex-head of the OGKhK Artur Somov, owners of the company “Agro Gas Trading” Vladimir Kolot and Alexander Gorbunenko, participant Pavel Prisyazhnyuk and executive vice president for corporate strategy and development of PJSC “Ukrnafta” Denis Kudin.
