SSU seized 30 gas wells and other property of Novinskiy worth UAH 3.5 billion

According to the materials of the Security Service, the property of pro-Russian oligarch Vadym Novinskiy, who is involved in aiding the aggressor country, was seized. This was reported by the SSU press service.

The list of blocked assets includes corporate rights to 40 Ukrainian enterprises and 30 gas wells that produce industrial volumes of natural gas. The total amount of seized property is more than UAH 3.5 billion.

The SSU notes that to avoid NSDC sanctions, Novinskiy tried to re-register his own industrial facilities to several affiliated commercial structures. To implement the arrangement, he involved controlled private notaries and state registrars.

Currently, according to SSU materials, the Ministry of Justice has already canceled the illegal actions of the registrars regarding several the oligarch's enterprises. Employees of the SSU conducted searches in the office premises of enterprises, as well as in the places of work and residence of the persons involved. During the searches, documents, seals of non-resident companies and pro-Kremlin religious literature were discovered.

As ExPro reported, the day before, companies related to Novinskiy reported pressure on the company's gas business by law enforcement officers.
