—
According to NABU and SAPO, in 2019 members of an organised group, to which investigators attribute the then head of ARMA, the head of SE “SETAM” and other persons, at least four times sold seized property transferred to ARMA's management (land plots in Odesa Oblast, sand, urea, grain) at an understated value to predetermined companies; according to investigators, the head of ARMA ensured the adoption of the regulatory framework for this. On 12 July 2022 a notice of suspicion was served (Article 191(5); Article 28(2), Article 364(2) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). On 1 May 2025 the case against 11 persons was sent to court. Discrepancy in amounts: in 2022 SAPO cited over UAH 426 million, according to NABU's expert examinations in 2025 — over UAH 440 million (the record uses the amount from the later official statement). The name is not given in official statements; it is given by Ukrainska Pravda (citing LB.ua) and Transparency International Ukraine. There is no verdict.
