Overview
- At a briefing chaired by Prosecutor General Alexander Gutsan, officials said more than 33,000 vehicles were confiscated from repeat drunk‑driving cases over roughly 2.5 years.
- Over 5,500 of the seized vehicles were transferred to the SVO, with 146 sent to support development in the so‑called new regions and 19 delivered to the Emergency Situations Ministry.
- The Prosecutor General’s Office described the confiscation mechanism as fully operational through coordination with other agencies.
- The office reported a 15% decline in drunk‑driving offenses in 2024, with the downward trend continuing into 2025.
- Gutsan noted operational shortcomings, stating that only about one in three asset‑search orders yields recoverable assets for confiscation.
