Progress/Result of implementation:

By order of the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA) dated January 30, 2023 No. 18, the Unified State Register of Assets Seized in Criminal Proceedings (hereinafter - the Register) was put into commercial operation.

By order of the ARMA dated August 25, 2023 No. 187 public access to the Register's data was restored .

According to the information provided by the ARMA, "the opening of the Register comply with the open data policy and practice of the European offices for the investigation and management of illicit assets (ARO/AMO). The ARMA has made significant efforts for data security, primarily regarding strategic assets and critical infrastructure facilities. In particular, thousands of records have been checked to prevent the publicizing of information about military facilities, information on the names and descriptions of critical infrastructure assets has been limited. The ARMA has also consulted with all authorized agencies and taken into account their caveats. And only after reaching a full consensus on the possibility of opening of the Registry, public access to it is finally ensured. Using the open Registry, the ARMA demonstrates its openness to cooperation with potential managers, opens space for them to invest, expects an increase in demand for seized property and a corresponding increase in revenues to the budget. In addition, the functioning of a mature and secure public Register means that the ARMA does not hide either information about assets or how they are managed."
