Luxury yacht belonging to Andriy Hmyrin seized

Luxury yacht worth €5.5 million belonging to Andriy Hmyrin seized following international investigation

A joint investigative team comprising detectives from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), prosecutors from the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP), and French law enforcement officials, with the assistance of Italian authorities, has achieved a significant success. 

During the investigation, a luxury yacht owned by one of the leaders of a criminal organisation operating within the State Property Fund of Ukraine was discovered and seized.

A symbol of luxury with a dubious past

The yacht, valued at €5.5 million, is a premium-class asset and was likely used not only for leisure but also as a tool to conceal funds extracted from state funds. Such assets, often registered in the names of shell companies or relatives, become part of schemes to evade liability.

International cooperation

The achievement was made possible by the coordinated work of investigative bodies from several countries. The involvement of Italian and French law enforcement officials underscored the importance of international cooperation in the fight against corruption, which knows no borders. 

Coordination between state structures allowed for the prompt identification of property subject to seizure and the blocking of its use.
