Based on the SBI investigation, the court seized the corporate rights and authorised capital of a company in Cherkasy, whose co-owner continued to work with russian security forces after the start of the full-scale invasion.

The seized authorised capital of the company is UAH 1.98 million, and the seized corporate rights are worth UAH 9.2 million. The court also seized the company's real estate worth UAH 91 million, with a total area of more than 3,000 square metres.

It was established that one of the co-owners of the company is a russian citizen and owns more than 15 russian companies operating in the temporarily occupied Crimea and supplying food and medical products to the security forces of the aggressor country.

These russian companies supplied agricultural and dairy products, tobacco products and canned food to russian state medical institutions, as well as to the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the presidential administration and others.

In particular, among other things, supplies were made to the health centre of the presidential administration and the sanatorium of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The defendant's companies also supply food to the temporarily occupied Crimea.

The criminal proceedings are being investigated on the fact of financing actions committed with the aim of seizing state power, changing the borders of the territory of Ukraine and aiding the aggressor state (Part 3 of Article 110-2, Part 1 of Article 111-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for up to 12 years with confiscation of property.

A motion is also being prepared to transfer the seized property to the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA).

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