“In the course of the pre-trial investigation, it was established that on the territory of Ukraine since 2001 and until now, a criminal organization organized and represented by citizens of the Russian Federation and whose organizers include Oleksandr Babakov, Yevhenii Giner and Mikhail Voevodin has been carrying out systematic illegal activities,” the decision reads .
In total, since February 24, Western countries have seized more than $30 billion worth of Russian assets, and if we also include the assets of the Russian Central Bank, then more than $330 billion. An international group for the search for Russian assets with the eloquent name Russian Elites, Proxies, and Oligarchs (REPO) was created and operates in the USA. Its employees find, arrest or detain property and money of Russians: financial accounts, yachts and ships, real estate. They are assisted by the European Commission's “Freeze and Seize” working group, reinforced by specialists from Canada, Japan, Australia and Great Britain. Against the background of loud headlines about “Western” arrests, Ukraine looks obscenely pale. Read about it on ZN.UA in the article by Yulia Samaeva – “Why sanctions against the Russian Federation in Ukraine are turning into a corrupt business and who is not ashamed of it “.
