Real estate of Russian militants in Odesa region transferred to ARMA management

The property of Russian militants involved in the activities of the Redoubt and Wagner PMCs was transferred to the management of the ARMA. Some of the property was located in Odesa region.

This was reported by the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office.

At the initiative of prosecutors of the Prosecutor General's Office, the property of persons involved in the activities of the Redoubt PMC was transferred to the management of the Asset Recovery and Management Agency(ARMA). This includes a 500-square-meter commercial building and a land plot valued at more than UAH 2 million.

As part of this criminal proceeding, other assets belonging to the members of the Wagner PMC were also identified. These include apartments, private houses and land plots located in Odesa and Kharkiv regions.

Based on the prosecutors' motions, these properties were subject to encumbrances that provide for restrictions on the use and disposal of property belonging to persons involved in the activities of the private military company.

Operational and investigative actions to seize and secure the property were carried out by investigators of the Main Investigation Department of the National Police and employees of the Criminal Investigation Department. This allowed to legally restrict the disposal of assets that could be used to the detriment of the state.

The pre-trial investigation is ongoing. The Prosecutor's Office continues to take measures to ensure the safety and security of the identified assets, as well as to block property associated with members of private military groups to prevent its illegal alienation or use.

Recently, the search for a new manager for a strategic enterprise engaged in the production of industrial gases has begun in Odesa region. It is a business owned by Russian citizens with millions of dollars in seized assets and its own research and development base.

The assets include corporate rights, four land plots, two production facilities, equipment, nine apartments in Odesa, as well as two country houses and a cottage.
