Hetmantsev called Concorde's shareholders "not Ukrainians" and gave instructions to prosecute them - bank co-founder Sosedka

The chairman of the Committee on Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy, Danylo Hetmantsev, called the shareholders of the Concord Bank, which is in the process of liquidation, "not Ukrainians" and gave instructions to prosecute them during a meeting of the committee. This was reported by the co-founder of the bank, Olena Sosiedka, UNN reports.

"Hetmantsev was so brazen that he called us, the Concorde shareholders, fraudsters and non-Ukrainians. He was not ashamed of the Deputy Prime Minister, the head of the NBU and other MPs and gave direct instructions to prosecute us. But why? There is no criminal proceeding against us or our bank in any law enforcement agency of Ukraine," Sosedka wrote on Facebook.

According to her, this happened during a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada Tax Committee on February 2 this year.

Those banks that, despite the war, stole money from the state, creating large financial fraud schemes such as Aibox and Concorde. And it is very important that you work in such a way as to not only satisfy the claims of their creditors, individuals, which is understandable, you will do it anyway, but also to bring to justice those fraudsters who are behind these financial institutions and who allowed themselves to withdraw billions of dollars from taxation and steal them from our army. This is beyond good and evil. These are people who I think are not Ukrainians for sure. I don't know if they are people, but they are definitely not Ukrainians. Therefore, please pay attention to this, it is very important to bring these cases to a logical conclusion and provide law enforcement with any assistance and fiscal authorities with any assistance in bringing to justice and recovering from the perpetrators the losses caused to the state

At the same time, she emphasized that there are no criminal proceedings against Concorde's shareholders in any law enforcement agency.

According to her, Concorde's shareholders have been donating most of their bank's profits to the Armed Forces and continue to do so.

We gave UAH 135 million in aid to the army, and this is confirmed by numerous thanks and awards from the military. What were you doing at that time, Mr. Hetmantsev? Were you saving your mother's fortune? Who gave you the right to judge who is a greater Ukrainian? Who gave you the right to determine which business to work for? Who gave you the right to give instructions to destroy the Concorde? Did it really hurt you so much that our bank was doing its best to bring our victory over Russia closer, or did your boss Sivkovych not like it?

The co-founder of Concorde suggested that Hetmantsev invite her to a committee meeting and tell her to her face that the bank's shareholders are not Ukrainians. "I am ready to answer any of your questions," Sosedka added.
