Recently, the Agency for Development and Management of Assets (ARMA) has been at the epicenter of a number of scandals that do not subside in the media landscape. Suspicions of corrupt connections, strange inactivity and corporate wars have become the object of close attention of the public and law enforcement officers.
The loudest scandal was the question of the yacht of the traitor ex-Deputy Viktor Medvedchuk. According to the latest reports, Olena Duma, the head of ARMA, came under fire because Ukraine almost lost this yacht. Her inaction or potential activity in favor of Medvedchuk caused outrage. While some experts consider this to be negligence, others suggest deliberate actions against national interests. Law enforcement agencies should understand this situation.
Currently, ARMA is trying to get under its control the capital business center "Gulliver". It is known that there is a real corporate struggle going on around this asset. Recently, a petition appeared on the website of the Cabinet of Ministers with a proposal to nationalize "Gulliver" and turn it into a rehabilitation center for veterans. This petition was initiated by persons related to former minister Oleksandr Klymenko, who, like Medvedchuk, is suspected of treason.
Experts suggest that with the help of a petition with the theme of the rehabilitation center, the real goal may be hidden - to gain control over "Gulliver" through a shell company. This game is being played at different levels and may be part of a larger plan to control important assets in Ukraine.
In particular, investigators claim that Olena Duma is one of the main players in this story. Her agency, which manages the assets of traitors and collaborators, faces serious allegations of corruption and abuse. Bloggers have already accused the Duma of using its official position to transfer structures related to Klymenko to "Gulliver", disguising these actions as "protection of state interests".
Last year, "Transparency International Ukraine" warned about the risks associated with the appointment of Olena Duma as the head of ARMA, pointing to possible political involvement and lack of qualifications. These fears have increased after new scandals, which have strengthened distrust of the Duma. She was also accused of having contacts with suspicious persons such as Oleg Kulinich and Sam Kislin.
No matter how fair these accusations are, ARMA and Olena Duma are currently under close scrutiny. Fair questions arise: is Olena Duma really acting in the interests of the state, or is she just playing along with her former clients and potential beneficiaries? A question that should be answered in the near future.
