Oleksandr Zyma, director of the NBU's legal department and chairman of the Administrative Council of the Deposit Guarantee Fund, should be suspended from his duties for the duration of the criminal investigation in which he is involved. This opinion was expressed in an exclusive commentary to UNN by former MP Ihor Mosiychuk.
"First, if a criminal proceeding is initiated against an official of this rank, he or she must be suspended from performing duties for the duration of the inspection. Not fired, but suspended for the duration of the inspection," Mosiychuk said.
According to him, Zyma has not yet been suspended from his duties as director of the legal department and chairman of the Administrative Council of the Deposit Guarantee Fund because of the mutual responsibility.
"Why this is not happening here is because we have a mutual responsibility that journalists will talk and forget, while we solve everything in the meantime. The situation will change only when the system of power changes," the former MP is convinced.

As UNN reported, the criminal case concerns a letter from the National Bank of Ukraine to the Deposit Guarantee Fund signed by Oleksandr Zyma, in which he recommended that the Fund withdraw the lawsuits filed by Concord against the NBU. The document referred to four lawsuits filed by Concorde Bank against the NBU, in which the bank demanded to cancel fines totaling almost UAH 63.5 million. These lawsuits were filed before the NBU decided to liquidate Concorde and put it under temporary administration.
