SBU reveals ex-representative of Deposit Guarantee Fund on embezzlement of millions of hryvnas

The Security Service of Ukraine exposed the former representative of the Deposit Guarantee Fund of Individuals on misappropriation of millions of hryvnas of AKB Capital Bank, which was in the process of liquidation.

Law enforcement officers found that the official had complete information about the creditors' debts to the bank. However, in “individual” cases, the information was not included in the document. As a result, the encumbrance and ban on alienation were illegally lifted from some objects of collateral property. The bank in fact lost these assets. The state represented by the Deposit Guarantee Fund suffered damages in the amount of over UAH 5,000,000.

On March 7, 2020, the suspect was served a notice of suspicion of committing the crime stipulated by Part 5 Art.191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The issue of choosing a preventive measure is being decided. The article provides for a penalty of up to 12 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.

The exposing operation was carried out under the procedural guidance of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office with the assistance of the Deposit Guarantee Fund of Individuals.

The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
