According to NBU data, on May 20, when the bank’s Chairman of the Board Ihor Doroshenko left the post, the bank used the guise of a technical failure to hold a number of suspicious transactions on transfer of individual deposits, increasing the burden on the Guarantee Fund by UAH 1 billion - up to UAH 2.6 billion.
In August, the National Police handed over suspicion notices to and arrested former head of the bank Ihor Doroshenko, who is suspected of misappropriating UAH 870 million of funds and bringing the bank to insolvency. He faces from seven to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
