Vladimir Konstantinov, Chairman of the "State Council of Crimea" noted that among the persons whose property was nationalised, there are well-known businessmen and politicians: Rinat Akhmetov, Ihor Kolomoyskyi, Arsenii Yatseniuk, Nestor Shufrych, Serhii Taruta and others.

Konstantinov said that the nationalised assets include land plots, various buildings and premises, objects under construction, warehouses and much more. He added that after evaluating the seized property, it will be put up for auction and transferred to "interested owners".

Earlier, Sergei Aksyonov, the head of the occupation government of Crimea, said that all funds bargained for the sale of the nationalised property will go to the needs of participants in military operations in Ukraine. It is planned to receive 1 billion roubles (roughly US$13.5  mln) from the sale of nationalised assets. 

Note:

The so-called Crimean authorities accepted the decision to "nationalise" the property of "foreign citizens and states that commit unfriendly actions against Russia"; the list includes about 500 real estate objects.
