The Appellate Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court upheld the decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) of April 18, 2024, which partially satisfied the claim of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine and recovered the assets of former executives of Motor Sich JSC Vyacheslav Boguslaev and Petro Kononenko. This decision was based, in particular, on the materials of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP).
Thus, the assets of Vyacheslav Boguslaev, the former president of Motor Sich JSC, were seized:

In addition, corporate rights (23% of Zhekon LLC, 17% of Perspektiva Vysokie Tekhnologii LLC, 19% of Promzapal PJSC) of Petro Kononenko, a former member of the Board of Directors of Motor Sich JSC, former director of Motor Sich JSC's representative office in Moscow, were recovered for the state.
At the same time, the HACCU Appeals Chamber refused to recover the assets of third parties associated with Bohuslaev and Kononenko.
As a reminder, Viacheslav Bohuslaev is a Member of Parliament of the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th convocations of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, former president of Motor Sich JSC. Petro Kononenko is Bohuslaev's business partner and trustee in the Russian aircraft market, former director of the Moscow office of Motor Sich JSC.
The statement of claim states that one of the grounds for imposing the sanction is the participation of both defendants in the logistics of the military-industrial complex of the aggressor country.
As a reminder, by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine dated 01.04.2023, which was put into effect by the Decree of the President of Ukraine dated 01.04.2023 No. 191/2023, a number of personal restrictive measures (sanctions) were imposed on these individuals for 10 years, in particular in the form of blocking assets.
