Expropriation Named After Saldo. Russian Prosecutors Reverse Saldo’s “nationalization” of Ukrainian Assets in Kherson Region

Russian occupation prosecutors have submitted a wave of lawsuits to Russian “arbitration court of Kherson oblast”. They require recognizing as void contracts which transferred assets of Ukrainian legal entities under management of companies owned or controlled by Russian “governor” Volodymyr Saldo and his friends. They also require reimbursing multi-million losses. However, prosecutors would like to transfer these assets to the state ownership of the Russian Federation, not to their legitimate Ukrainian owners. Thus, they do not restore justice and do not stop war crimes. 

The Center of Journalist Investigations (the CJI) studied documents, considered by “arbitration court”, and uncovered schemes Russian occupants and their collaborators used to expropriate assets of Ukrainian citizens and foreigners.
