As part of criminal proceedings, the court seized the property of nine companies providing international bus transportation services to Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, and other EU countries.
The seizure paralyzed the holding company’s operations: the companies were unable to use their vehicle fleet, attract investments or obtain loans, which created serious financial risks.
After analyzing the grounds for the seizure, the GOLAW team identified and proved gross violations of the Criminal Procedure Code. The court agreed with the lawyers’ arguments and lifted the seizure of:
- corporate rights worth over UAH 105 million;
- over 50 vehicles;
- real estate with a total area of over 2,000 m².
As a result, the holding’s companies regained control over their assets, continued international transportation, and maintained partnerships with European companies.
The case was handled by GOLAW’s Criminal Law practice team: Partner Igor Glushko, Counsel Kristina Kolchynska, Associate Anastasiia Shapoval and Partner Angelika Moiseeva.
The victory of GOLAW’s team proves that we always protect our clients’ interests and help them not only preserve but also develop their businesses.
