Based on the SBI materials, about US 3 million dollars from bank accounts belonging to a sanctioned russian citizen are transferred to the ARMA (VIDEO)

Thanks to the work of the SBI, the court seized and transferred to the National Agency for Finding, Tracing and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes (ARMA) about USD 3 million of the company owned by Mikhail Voevodin, a sanctioned russian citizen.

The funds were kept in a Ukrainian bank also controlled by a russian citizen, the president of the russian football club CSKA, Yevgeny Giner.

In the course of the pre-trial investigation, the Bureau is also examining information on the legality of obtaining and using a refinancing loan in the amount of over UAH 1.6 billion by a banking institution whose beneficial owner was a russian citizen.

It has already been established that after receiving the refinancing, the bank conducted multimillion-dollar financial transactions with companies that are affiliated with russian businessmen.

The bank received some of the "money pouring" after the active phase of war have began.

The amount received is more than 50% of the bank's assets and more than 5.5 times its authorised capital.

The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.

The Prosecutor General's Office is in charge of the proceedings.

As a reminder, in Ukraine, Giner, Voevodin and Oleksandr Babakov are non-public co-owners of a company that owned several regional power distribution companies, hotels, shopping centres, agricultural businesses and a bank.

On 11 November 2022, the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv seized shares in strategic Ukrainian enterprises and securities whose final owners may be individuals controlled by high-ranking officials and deputies of the russian federation.

In particular, these are stakes in authorised capital: JSC Zhytomyroblenergo (95.54%), JSC Khersonoblenergo (99.99%), PrJSC Kirovohradoblenergo (72.9%), JSC Chernivtsioblenergo (96.78%) and JSC Rivneoblenergo (93.24%). These stakes are owned in different proportions by VS Group Management LLC and the Dutch VS Energy International N.V. and Washington Holdings B.V., which are united in the VS Energy group.

On 27 February 2023, the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine confiscated the assets of russian citizen Giner, including 88.890583% of the shares in a Ukrainian bank, to the state. On 13 March 2023, the appellate court confirmed this decision.
