French court seizes Perehudov's luxury real estate

French court seizes luxury real estate of former "Ukrspetsexport" head

Villa, winery and hundreds of hectares: Perehudov accused of laundering millions

French authorities have frozen the assets of former "Ukrspetsexport" CEO Dmitry Perehudov, who is evading the investigation. Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies suspect him of embezzling 387 million hryvnia from the "Ukroboronprom" budget.

How was the money siphoned off?

According to the investigation, Perehudov siphoned off more than $46 million through sham transactions, of which €13 million was transferred to his personal accounts.

What were the stolen millions spent on?

In France, these funds were used to purchase:
A villa worth 86 million hryvnia
A winery, corporate rights and 105 land plots – 229 million hryvnia
An additional 27 vineyards for 37 million hryvnia

Perehudov faces extradition

All the real estate has already been seized by French authorities. Meanwhile, the NABU is actively seeking Perehudov's extradition to Ukraine to hold him accountable. However, the process may be prolonged, as the former official is abroad and is likely trying to avoid surrender.
