The State Bureau of Investigation prevented Russian businessmen from taking 10 ships out of Ukraine/State Bureau of Investigation
Consequently, we received a replenishment of 10 ships seized from Russia. Now they will work for our economy and the Armed Forces.
Investigators of the State Bureau of Investigation, together with the Marine Guard of the State Border Service, prevented the withdrawal of 8 Russian cargo ships and 2 tankers from Ukraine. They were in the waters of the Odessa port for preventive maintenance. Russia involved the ships in logistical operations in the Black Sea and the Danube, the SBI said.
The owners of the ships wanted to illegally withdraw the ships from Ukraine. They tried to change the flag of the country of “registration” for this. To pay the state budget of Ukraine, the minimum mandatory payment, the ships were estimated at 160 million hryvnia. Previously, this amount was underestimated by at least 5 times.
On April 11, employees of the State Bureau of Investigation transferred the vessel to the Administration of the Sea Ports of Ukraine for storage. They also report that they submitted the relevant materials to the Odessa OVA to be nationalized.
