An employee of a Ukrainian bank was tied up for stealing a quarter of a billion hryvnia
Employees of the Kiev prosecutor's office, together with the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police, detained a woman suspected of illegally appropriating funds from the state bank Ukrgasbank in the amount of UAH 250 million, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It was established that in 2015, the specified person, under the pretext of providing services to resolve problematic debts of banking institutions, deliberately and by prior conspiracy with other persons, organized forgeries of a number of documents for the alienation of the loan portfolio of the state bank Ukrgasbank,” reports the press service of the Kyiv prosecutor’s office.
Law enforcement officers found out that in order to implement her plan, the attacker created a number of fictitious enterprises, appointed them as managers of controlled persons, and also attracted other persons as co-executors.
“As a result of these actions, the bank was deprived of the right to claim the loan, and the property of the bank pledged in the amount of 250 million hryvnia was illegally removed from its mortgage,” the statement says.
In criminal proceedings, a 38-year-old woman was informed of suspicion of fraud committed on an especially large scale, forgery of documents, misappropriation of power, bribery of a person who provides public services, and fictitious entrepreneurship.
At the request of the prosecutor's office, a preventive measure in the form of detention was chosen against the attacker. The pre-trial investigation continues.
