On the recommendation of the Security Service of Ukraine, the court seized the property of the pro-Russian oligarch and former people's deputy Vadim Novinsky, suspected of complicity with Russia. We are talking about assets worth more than UAH 3.5 billion.

According to the SBU, the list of blocked assets includes corporate rights to 40 Ukrainian enterprises and 30 gas wells, where industrial volumes of blue fuel are produced.. The total amount of seized property is more than UAH 3.5 billion.

Investigators say Novinsky tried to re-register his own industrial facilities to several affiliated commercial structures in order to avoid NSDC sanctions.. To this end, he engaged a number of controlled private notaries and public registrars..

The SBU noted that the Ministry of Justice has already canceled the illegal actions of registrars in a number of enterprises of the oligarch. At the same time, the special services conducted searches in the office premises of enterprises, as well as in the places of work and residence of persons involved in criminal proceedings..

“During the searches, documents, seals of non-resident companies and pro-Kremlin religious literature were found. An investigation is ongoing to establish all the circumstances of the crime and bring the perpetrators to justice,” the Security Council says..
