• his deputies Volodymyr Yatsenko and Lyudmyla Shmalchenko;

Details
On August 14, 2025, the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine decided to begin a full review of the case against former top managers of PJSC CB "Privatbank". In the dock are the former chairman of the board, his first deputy, another deputy, and three heads of departments of the financial institution.
The first hearing is scheduled for September 25 of this year. According to the investigation, in December 2016, literally one day before the bank was officially declared insolvent, the executives, using forged documents, paid UAH 223 million from the bank's funds to two companies associated with them. The money was transferred in two tranches – UAH 85.2 million and UAH 136.8 million – after which it was withdrawn from Ukraine for the purpose of legalization.
In addition, NABU investigators and SAP prosecutors established that before the nationalization of the financial institution, the suspects organized the illegal write-off of over UAH 8.2 billion. This occurred by repaying the debts of foreign companies to Latvian AS "Privatbank" using funds from Ukrainian "Privatbank", which were placed on correspondent accounts in Latvia.
Recall
