The court has seized the corporate rights of the wife of the former MP of Ukraine Viktor Medvedchuk, Oksana Marchenko, who is suspected of high treason, at Zaporizhia Ferroalloy Plant for more than UAH 1 billion, according to the website of the Security Service of Ukraine.

"The court decision concerns 13.7% of the company's shares, which Medvedchuk's wife owns through four offshore companies. Zaporizhia Ferroalloy Plant is a monopoly producer of metal manganese in Ukraine, it is included in the list of the largest metallurgical companies in Europe. The seizure of assets will protect them from sale or re-registration on figureheads and in the future will allow transferring in favor of our state," the report says.
