Asset recovery

  • Assets
    Seizure and confiscation

    Ukrainian legislation allowed only the seizure of assets belonging to suspect or convict, and did not allow to seize property owned by the third parties. Due to this, during the criminal proceedings the assets either were not seized at all or the seizure was made at the later stage of investigation when the property could have been lost already. Similar situation existed with regard to assets confiscation: it was possible to confiscate only those assets owned by the person who committed the crime.

  • ARMA

    The National Agency for the Detection, Tracing and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes

    The National Agency for the Detection, Tracing and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes (ARMA) is the special executive body that ensures detection and tracing of assets which can be seized in criminal proceedings, and/or management of assets which are seized or confiscated in criminal proceedings. Before 2016, there was no system of effective detection, tracing and management of criminal assets in Ukraine. As a result, criminal assets were not seized or were improperly maintained during the investigation, or sold at a lower price after the confiscation.

    Establishment of the Agency is aimed at taking a burden off the law enforcement agencies and making the process of detection, tracing and managing criminal assets more transparent, effective and accountable.
