In Poltava, the transfer of arrested assets of the family of the Army of the Russian Army Valery Kapashin continues. The property package includes hotels, restaurants and dozens of commercial and residential real estate, which were probably purchased at the expense of dubious origin.
According to the Agency for Investigation and Management of Assets (ARMA), the property was arrested by the decision of the Shevchenkivsky District Court of Kyiv a year and a half ago. It has been transferred to the state management, and is currently underway for the selection of governors on the ProZorro platform. In particular, a survey of objects was recently conducted in the Poltava community: three private homes with a total area of more than 800 m², the Grand Alley Hotel, Lilya and Kozachka restaurants, as well as the Bavaria hotel and restaurant complex.
In total, Kapashin's family was more than 50 thousand m² of non -residential real estate, about 1,000 m² of residential and thousands of hectares of land. According to the SBU, all this property was issued on the daughter of General Oksana Verig and her husband of the Lion, who left Ukraine before the full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation.
Investigators suspect that Kapashin, as a current officer of the Russian army, legalized illegally received funds due to the acquisition of real estate in Ukraine. The scheme included the registration of fictitious enterprises for controlled persons. The investigation continues under articles on legalization of property obtained.
It is interesting that the scandal was also the brother of Leo Veriga - Igor, a former official of the State Treasury of Poltava region. Last year, his declaration caused public resonance: the official indicated a cash in the amount of more than $ 62 million. After journalistic investigations and searches, Igor Veriga sharply reduced the amount of declared funds by $ 60 million and dismissed.
Law enforcement officers qualified Veriga's actions as illegal enrichment and laundering. The investigation into these facts is ongoing.
ARMA Chairman Olena Duma stated that the state intends to ensure the effective use of arrested assets in order to work for the economy of Ukraine, not to the interests of the Russian generals.
