It is indicated that the former chairman of the board of PrivatBank, his first representative and two heads of bank departments in December 2016, the day before the financial institution was declared insolvent, based on false documents, paid about UAH 223 million from the bank in favor of companies controlled and associated with PrivatBank.
The funds were transferred in several tranches to two different companies. UAH 85.2 million on account of one company associated with the participants of the scheme, and UAH 136.8 million in another.
Regarding the episode of embezzlement of 136.8 million hryvnias, detectives reported suspicion in February 2021. During the investigation, NABU and SAP established new facts and discovered additional embezzlement of more than 85 million hryvnias. Thus, the total amount of losses for the two stages was about UAH 223 million.
The participants of the scheme subsequently took these funds abroad for the purpose of legalization.
Today, NABU and SAP reported the suspicion of the head of the bank’s operations department. On the same day, a change in suspicions and new suspicions were reported to the established participants in the procedure for embezzlement of PrivatBank funds, namely:
-
former chairman of the board
-
former First Vice Chairman of the Board
-
Former Head of the Financial Management Department
-
Former Head of the Interbank Operations Department
Recall, on February 23, 2021, NABU employees announced suspicions of former top managers of PrivatBank in the case of embezzlement of UAH 136 million. It was about the ex-chairman of the board of the bank Alexander Dubilet, the ex-first deputy chairman of the board Vladimir Yatsenko and the head of the financial management department Elena Bychikhina.
Last December, the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court arrested Dubilet in absentia on suspicion of embezzlement of bank funds.
