The PGO said the assets had been seized at the prosecutor's request to preserve that strategically important enterprise's property and prevent further attempts to illegally sell it.

"The PGO is taking measures aimed at making liable all persons who participated in the illegal schemes to artificially make the enterprise bankrupt and carry out illegal operations with its property," it said.
