More than UAH 22 million of credit funds appropriated: former employees of one of the commercial banks received suspicions
Among the participants of the scheme are the former head of the banking security department - a member of the credit committee, his deputy, as well as the head of a private entity, appraiser and state registrar.
During the investigation, it was established that the officials of the banking institution entered into a criminal conspiracy with business representatives to illegally obtain UAH 30 million of credit funds. Realizing that the loan funds will not be returned in advance, and the collateral exists only on paper, the attackers signed the necessary documents with knowingly false data and provided a loan to a private entity.
After some time, the bank was declared insolvent, and the obligation to pay for deposit obligations passed to the Deposit Guarantee Fund.
As a result of the corruption transaction of the Deposit Guarantee Fund of Individuals, losses in the amount of UAH 22.5 million were caused.
Based on the evidence received, law enforcement officers informed seven defendants of suspicion under Part 5 of Art. 191 (Appropriation, squandering of property or possession of it by abuse of official position) and Part 1 of Art. 366 (Forgery) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Currently, the issue of choosing a preventive measure for suspects is being decided. The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of seven to twelve years with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for a term of up to three years and with confiscation of property.
