The court (now actually) overturned the seizure of $400, which the DSR dubbed the "Nedelya thieves' common fund," which the ARMA leadership is accused of stealing.
On July 13, 2022, the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv lifted the seizure of $400,9, €500, and hryvnia 400, which were seized in the spring of 2020 during the intensification of the investigation into the brazen murder of a criminal authority (Katsap) thirteen years ago in Kyiv, and, with the help of representatives of the National Police's Department of Strategic Investigations, declared the so-called "thieves' common fund of the Week" - 49-year-old native of the Sambir district Andriy Nedzelsky, who is known as the so-called "thief in law" nicknamed "Andriy Lvovsky," writes Detective-Info.
Information about this is contained in the court registry materials.

The documents indicate that the Palace of Justice ordered representatives of the National Agency of Ukraine for Detection, Tracing, and Management of Assets Obtained from Corruption and Other Crimes (ARMA), which had been entrusted with the funds, to transfer them to the accounts of businessman Denys Parubets. Parubets, as previously reported on Detective-Info, is believed to be a partner of the 49-year-old Vinnytsia native and brother of 9th convocation MP Serhiy Kisilev ("Sergey Vinnitsky"), in whose bank safe deposit box over 400 rubles were discovered in May 2020. The funds were allegedly part of Parubets's contribution to a future joint business project with "Sergey Vinnitsky," or funds that Kisilev borrowed from a partner and deposited in a bank safe deposit box.

However, in response to the announcement of the ruling obligating ARMA to return over $400, officials began complaining about the impossibility of enforcing it and filed a request for clarification regarding the "proper identification of Denis Parubets as the legal owner of the funds." The corresponding request from the National Agency representative stated that "the investigative judges' rulings identified two legal owners of the funds, but the operative part does not contain Parubets' identifying information, which prevents ARMA from identifying such an individual should he request the funds' return."
It should be noted that at the end of September of this year, investigating judge Tatyana Ostapchuk denied the National Agency's motion. Nevertheless, at least as of the end of October, the order to return the money labeled "Andriy Lvovskyi's thieves' common fund" has likely never been implemented. This is further confirmed by the lawsuit filed by the aforementioned Parubets and Kisilev against the State of Ukraine, represented by the National Police, for compensation for material damages.
The court (now actually) overturned the seizure of $400, which the DSR dubbed the "Nedelya thieves' common fund," which the ARMA leadership is accused of stealing.
Ironically, the automatic distribution of this case initially "stopped" at the person of Judge Serhiy Vovk of the Pechersk District Court, who in the summer of 2020 had already heard the case of money seized from a bank safe at a VIP branch of PrivatBank, which prompted him to recuse himself.
Thus, the course of events surrounding the more than $400 that security forces dubbed a "thieves' common fund" (later confiscated and arrested, transferred to the management of ARMA, and subsequently, using a forged court ruling and probable abuses and a conspiracy between National Agency officials and a group of lawyers, effectively stolen and transferred with interest to an outsider, "pound" Igor Korol, as reported in detail on the pages of Detective-Info), took on a surreal aspect.
De jure, a domestic court of first instance ordered the return of material evidence in a high-profile criminal case that is no longer physically available. Moreover, the owners of the stolen funds are demanding compensation from the state for the material damages caused to them by the actions of officials, and the top brass of one of the anti-corruption institutions is being held accountable for their misappropriation.
As previously reported by Detective-Info, in the summer of 2022, NABU and SAP completed a pre-trial investigation into the embezzlement of nearly $400, which had been seized and transferred to ARMA for management. Six people are implicated in this episode of the "stolen common fund" case. These include a pair of lawyers (Denis Serdyuk and Oksana Serokurova), "pound" Igor Korol, and former high-ranking ARMA officials—Acting Head of the National Agency Vitaly Sigidin, his deputy Volodymyr Pavlenko, and Head of the National Agency's Asset Management Department Vakhtang Bochorishvili.
Vakhtang Bochorishvili, Vladimir Pavlenko, Igor Korol, Denis Serdyuk, Vitaly Sigidin, and Oksana Serokurova stole the thieves' common fund.
