Zheleznyak stated that Ani Lorak's property in Ukraine has not yet been confiscated

People's Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak stated that singer Ani Lorak, who is under Ukrainian sanctions, still owns real estate in Kyiv. According to him, the Ministry of Justice has not filed a lawsuit to confiscate these assets for state revenue. 

Ani Lorak's property in Kyiv: what objects the deputy named

According to Zheleznyak, several real estate objects in the capital are registered under Karolina Kuyek, who performs under the stage name Ani Lorak. Among them is an apartment in Poznyaki, as well as a residence in a building on Sichovykh Striltsiv Street with an area of about 200 square meters.

The deputy named three apartments and three garages in the Park Avenue VIP residential complex on Golosiivskyi Prospect as the most valuable. According to him, two apartments have been combined into a penthouse with a terrace, with a total area of about 390 square meters.

Zheleznyak estimated the market value of this property at approximately 3 million dollars. In total, he believes, the budget could potentially receive several million dollars from the confiscation of the singer's property.

Sanctions against Ani Lorak: why the assets have not been transferred to the state

In October 2022, the National Security and Defense Council imposed sanctions on Ani Lorak for a period of five years, including the blocking of assets. In November 2024, she was indefinitely stripped of state awards of Ukraine.

According to Zheleznyak, the sanctions provide grounds for the Ministry of Justice to file a lawsuit in the High Anti-Corruption Court for the confiscation of assets. However, as he informed, such a lawsuit has not yet been filed.

The deputy connects this not with an isolated case, but with the problems of the entire sanctions system. He speaks of a shortage of staff in the relevant departments of the Ministry of Justice, high turnover, limited access to registries, and a significant number of sanctioned individuals.

Blocking property under sanctions does not always protect against re-registration

Zheleznyak pointed out as a separate problem that after the president's decree, information about the blocking of assets is not automatically entered into the burden registry. If the property is not arrested within the criminal proceedings, its owner can theoretically try to sell or re-register the assets.

According to the deputy, the Office of the Prosecutor General reported that no suspicion has been announced to Karolina Kuyek in the criminal case. He also announced a meeting of the Temporary Investigative Commission with the participation of representatives of the Ministry of Justice, the National Security and Defense Council, and other agencies.

Earlier, Zheleznyak announced an offensive against corrupt officials due to EU requirements and 90 billion euros.
