The court transferred 10 million UAH to ARMA: funds seized for misappropriation of charitable aid

Court ruling on seized funds

According to Главком: The court granted the requests of the prosecutors of the Zaporizhzhia regional prosecutor's office and transferred more than 10 million UAH to the management of the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA). These funds were seized from the accounts of a public organization due to the illegal misappropriation of charitable aid.

Abuse of charitable funds

The public organization received more than 17 million UAH in charitable funds from an international organization. However, according to the case materials, a group of individuals misappropriated over 1 million UAH from this aid. In November 2025, the participants in this criminal activity were notified of suspicion under several articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, including:

• part 3 of article 201-2
• part 1 of article 209
• part 3 of article 15
• part 3 of article 201-2

Among the suspects is a 29-year-old woman from the Donetsk region, who was also informed of suspicion for the illegal use of more than 1.8 million UAH in charitable funds. This case has attracted public attention due to the seriousness of the accusations and the scale of the misappropriation of aid intended for supporting those in need.

This situation highlights the importance of monitoring the use of charitable funds, especially in times of social and economic crisis when aid is critical for many people.

Noticing such crimes can serve as a signal to improve supervision mechanisms for charitable organizations and ensure transparency in financial operations.
