Security expert Serhii Shabovta expressed serious concerns about the work of the Agency for Search and Asset Management (ARMA), claiming that the agency does not comply with court decisions, in particular, in the case of the return of 455.5 thousand euros to BNK-Ukraine LLC. According to him, these funds may have "disappeared", which raises questions about the transparency and efficiency of ARMA's work.
The other day, ARMA got into another scandal. This time it became known that the agency has not returned 455.5 thousand euros (almost 22 million hryvnias) to BNK-Ukraine LLC, which is in the process of bankruptcy and liquidation, for more than a year. The leader of ARMA, Olena Duma, refused to return the funds to the liquidator of the LLC with accrued interest, because of which the latter appealed to the court. ARMA lost the courts of first instance and appeals and appealed to the Supreme Court with a cassation appeal. After the court decision came into effect, the liquidator obtained two court orders, in compliance with which the State Treasury Service froze ARMA's accounts.
Again, we see the same mosaic circle in which ARMA acts absolutely criminally, contrary to the legislation that defines its tasks and activities. And this is not the first situation when ARMA essentially steals money. And what gets into ARMA disappears somewhere. Surprisingly, no one is responsible for this. This is a crime of power
In his opinion, ARMA was created from the very beginning for such crimes, which cannot happen in any civilized state.
ARMA is a large criminal group for which laws mean nothing. ARMA is "crushed" by officials, the floor on which these officials are located is very high
Recently, the Agency for Search and Management of Assets (ARMA) and its head, Olena Duma, often appear in scandals about inefficient management of seized assets or about inaction.
Thus, ARMA was in the spotlight due to the loss of the Royal Romance yacht, which belonged to Viktor Medvedchuk, who is suspected of high treason. After all, despite the seizure of the yacht by the Croatian court and its transfer to Ukraine for sale, ARMA was unable to sell the asset in two years.
After researching the topic, it was possible to find out that the main delay in the sale of the yacht of the traitor ex-deputy arose because the head of ARMA, Olena Duma, was preparing changes to the legislation for the sale of foreign assets for almost six months. At the same time, at the time of her appointment to ARMA, the Prosecutor General's Office together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already prepared a draft of changes, but the Duma categorically rejected it.
In this regard, ARMA started a competition for the selection of a salesperson who was to sell the yacht only on March 20, 2024, and a month later chose the winner. It is worth noting that the winner was chosen a month before the end of the maximum period of seizure of this asset, which made its sale virtually impossible.
Former National Deputy Ihor Mosiychuk believes that the head of ARMA Olena Duma acted in the interests of Medvedchuk, delaying the sale of his yacht. He even turned to the State Bureau of Investigation and the National Police of Ukraine with statements about the commission of crimes by Olena Duma, in particular in the situation with the yacht.
