The National Asset Management, Investigation and Department (ARMA) has announced the start of a criminal investigation into Ukraine Development and Consulting LLC. The company tried to become the manager of arrested assets of Russian businessman Elijah Alexandrov, in particular for three sanctions. However, during the verification of ARMA documents, false information was found that became the basis for a criminal case.
The initial goal of the company was to participate in the tender for the management of property of three enterprises, including LLC "Rmerm", LLC "Yermrom" and LLC "Ermak Gold". On January 15 this year, the tender was canceled due to problems with the documents submitted, after which the company tried to challenge the ARMA decision in the Antimonopoly Committee, which detained the process for two months.
With further verification of documents of the company, the agency found a number of false information. As reported in the ARMA, this was the first time when the potential asset manager became the person involved in criminal proceedings due to the forgery of documents.
The state agency appealed to the police that opened criminal proceedings. It was established that the company tried to forge documents in order to obtain the right to manage the assets of the Russian, which were arrested in Ukraine, in particular, a plant of frozen semi -finished products for more than 350 million hryvnias.
The falsification of the documents by the company has become a serious violation, and now the police are investigating under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: official forgery (Article 366) and the appropriation of property (Part 4 of Article 191).
This case has become a landmark because ARMA has not previously encountered such violations. The importance of the case is that companies aimed at managing arrested assets must have a perfect reputation and meet all the legislative requirements.
Currently, pre -trial investigation is ongoing, and law enforcement officers are actively working to hold all persons involved in the attempt to illegally appropriation of assets due to the Russian.
