The head of the Asset Recovery and Management Agency, Olena Duma, once again emphasized her "role" in exposing corruption schemes in the MSEK, recalling her activities in 2020 at the Social Insurance Fund as the beginning of this struggle, UNN writes.

In her post on the tg channel, the Head of ARMA reported on the scale of the assets found belonging to the MSEK employees. She emphasized that a large number of the identified assets were acquired by the defendants during the full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and registered in the names of their close associates.
According to her, ARMA officers have already traced the first assets of the five defendants in these criminal proceedings and their entourage:
- 128 residential and non-residential real estate units (including residential houses and apartments in regional centers, apartments in Kyiv, apartments, entertainment complexes, garages, parking lots, offices);
- 140 land plots (with designated purposes, in particular, for housing construction, agricultural production, and gardening);
- 30 cars (including premium cars such as Lexus, Tesla, etc.);
- corporate rights for a total amount of more than UAH 20 million (including in an energy company and a construction company);
- million hryvnias on bank accounts;
- weapons.
As in the past, Olena Duma did not ignore her own contribution to the fight against corruption in the MSEC.
"Let me remind you that back in 2020, when I headed the Directorate of the Social Insurance Fund, I began to expose and fight such corruption schemes. This is a cynical continuation that should not take place in a society that wants to be clean and defeat the aggressor. Corruption will be overcome. Ukraine will win," the Duma proudly announced.
Despite this, there is no public evidence that its activities were decisive in the fight against corruption in the MSEC.
This is not the first time that Olena Duma has taken credit for eliminating corruption schemes in the MSEC. Earlier, she hintedthat it was her efforts in 2020 that gave impetus to the exposure of corruption schemes in the MSEC. At that time, the head of the ARMA not only described her "heroic path" of fighting corruption, but also indirectly took credit for the elimination of medical commissions.

Recently, a high-profile scandal erupted in Ukraine due to the exposure of corruption schemes by the heads of regional MSECs. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedthat during a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council on the situation with the MSEC and the abuse of disability by officials of various state bodies, a list of solutions was identified that would restore justice. In particular, it is the digitalization of the processes of passing all stages of medical and social expert commissions, real verification of declarations of MSEC members.
Pursuant to Zelensky's request, from January 1, 2025, Ukraine plans to completely eliminate MSECs as the system switches to a new approach.
At present, the functions of the central MSEC are assigned to the Ukrainian State Research Institute of Medical and Social Problems of Disability.
