As reported in the regional Department of Internal Affairs, today at about 9.20 a message was received on line “102” that an unknown man entered the main office of the Vladimirsky bank and began to demand a meeting with the management of the institution.
“Upon learning that the management was absent, he took out a glass bottle of gasoline from his inside pocket and began threatening to set him on fire if the bank did not return his deposit. After that, bank security officers took a container of gasoline from the man, called the police and took him out into the street, where they handed him over to representatives of law enforcement agencies,” said Vladimir Kuzmenko, head of the public relations sector of the Sumy city police department.
The detainee, born in 1942, admitted that in the summer of 2008 he deposited 7 thousand hryvnia and 1 thousand dollars into his deposit account in one of the bank branches in Romny, but still cannot withdraw his money. The man called his action a kind of “form of protest.”
“The police have not yet qualified the man’s actions, but the bank has already paid him $300 and promised to return the rest of the money,” Kuzmenko noted.
As PolitNavigator reported, one and a half dozen Ukrainian banks are experiencing problems with receiving deposits.
