The list of assets also includes a DAF FT CF 85 tractor-trailer and a VAN HOOL B22065 tanker semi-trailer. The tractor-trailer was manufactured in 2008, and the tanker in 1991. The vehicles are designed for transporting fuels and lubricants. The tanker has two compartments for transporting gasoline and diesel fuel.
Also up for auction is a black 2021 Lamborghini Urus with a 4.0-liter V8 engine. ARMA seized this vehicle in connection with a case involving alleged tax evasion. The estimated value of the vehicle is $282,000.
This case concerns the activities of Granit-001 LLC, a company engaged in road construction. According to the investigation, in 2019–2020, the company received over 178.2 million hryvnias in budget funds for road repairs but failed to properly report its tax liabilities. As a result, according to law enforcement officials, the budget lost more than 23.4 million hryvnias in VAT revenue.
The suspect in the case is a businessman whom investigators consider to be the de facto head of the road construction company. According to the investigation, the man left Ukraine in July 2020 and is currently in Russia. In August 2023, he was placed on the wanted list, and in July 2026, a court imposed a pretrial detention order on him in absentia. Law enforcement officials seized the Lamborghini Urus during a search on July 6, 2023.
The National Agency of Ukraine for the Identification, Tracing, and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes (ARMA) is a state agency with special status, established in accordance with European standards to effectively combat the economic consequences of crime. The agency’s primary mission is to ensure that criminal assets and property belonging to sanctioned individuals or an aggressor state are used for the benefit of the state.
ARMA searches for hidden assets of offenders in Ukraine and abroad, and after a court order, takes them under its control. Through sale or transfer to its management, the Agency returns factories, shopping centers, and vehicles to the economy to replenish the state budget.
