The ex-deputy chairman of the board of PJSC CB "Evrobank" was informed of suspicion in the case of embezzlement of 420 million hryvnias. This was reported by the press service of the DBR.
"Employees of the SBI informed about the suspicion of one of the ex-deputies of the board of PJSC KB Eurobank, who is involved in embezzlement of 420 million hryvnias," the report says.
According to the SGB, bank officials, by entering into forged contracts for the purchase and sale of securities, credit and mortgage contracts, and contracts for the satisfaction of the mortgage holder's requirements with fictitious companies controlled by them, took possession of depositors' funds and property of "Eurobank" in the amount of more than UAH 420 million.
To give fictitious contracts the appearance of legal activity, among other things, land plots and office premises, the value of which was deliberately inflated more than seven times, were used as collateral.
"One of the managers of Eurobank has been notified of suspicion of misappropriation and embezzlement of property through abuse of official position on a particularly large scale or by an organized group (Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)," the message emphasizes.
The SBI also informs that the involvement of other bank employees in the commission of the specified crimes is established.
"As a guarantee of compensation for the damages caused in the criminal proceedings, objects of criminally illegal actions and movable and immovable property bought with the funds acquired as a result of the commission of a criminal offense were seized and handed over to the ARMA," the SGB informs.
Among the property transferred to ARMA:
• shares in the authorized capital of 4 legal entities;
• 130 cars, including premium cars;
• 98 real estate objects (apartments, land plots, office premises, etc.).
The total value of the property is established.
