“These “bounty hunters”, about whom movies are made, are a real part of the American legal system, a long-standing tradition that allows good citizens to earn money by helping the American state.
Therefore, every person who helps the American justice to discover or arrest certain illegal capital can claim this payment, regardless of citizenship: that is, Ukrainians can also participate in this and receive a monetary reward for their searches.
But the fact of this payment is possible if the assistance is really significant and if the relevant assets will be searched for later and blocked or confiscated by court decision,” Bornyk explained.
Let’s add
In March, the United States announced the launch of a special group (Russian Elites, Proxies, and Oligarchs (REPO) multilateral task force), which is engaged in the search and seizure of assets of Russian elites and oligarchs, as well as the front persons used by them. The USA, Great Britain, Canada, Japan, Germany, France, Italy and the European Commission participate in it.
From each of these countries, this group will include representatives of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In addition, Congress established a $5 million reward program for assistance in identifying yachts, real estate, other assets and accounts of corrupt individuals and oligarchs who are helping the Russian government in its war against Ukraine.
Restrictions were also imposed on Dmytro Mazepin and his son Nikita, in particular, their Italian villa was seized.
The house is located in the north of Sardinia – in the city of Portisco in the province of Sassari. It is worth 110 million dollars. The Italian financial police discovered that the villa belongs to a foreign company, which the Mazepinas jointly own through their own “foreign corporate enterprise”.
