⁉️How #Столар funneled dirty 300 million as bail through controlled #Кристалбанк and the bank “Ukrainian Capital,” and #НАБУ turned a blind eye to their criminal origin, and the preventive measure for #СІЗО was not changed despite the missed 5-day deadline.
But unexpectedly the bankers themselves resisted, because #НАБУ immediately opened a separate case against them. ❗️They activated real financial monitoring, and Stolar’s money, as an MP and a PEP—i.e., a politically exposed person—of course could not pass. Mid-level bankers are scared by the story of depositing 150 million as bail through #СенсБанк.
📌The first bank is Ukrainian Capital, where 48,9% belongs to Serhiy #Бєлашов. The banking group has its own asset management company “#Укркапітал,” and the controller there is also Belashov. According to our information, the bank is controlled by #Астіон, Stolar’s accomplice from the same group, which used the registers #МінЮст to raid enterprises.
Vasyl Astion has been under NABU suspicion since August as a participant in Stolar’s criminal organization and #Микитась, and the investigation believes he secured the needed decisions of commercial courts, while Yevhen Burlika remained the unofficial owner of the bank together with Belashov.
Inside the bank they describe how the operation is being prepared.
▪️Belashov is now in Vienna, where he meets with Astion Sr., and it is through him that all communication with Stolar goes. They wanted to bring in 160 million through the bank, and Stolar is adding another 80 million on top, which is why Belashov is in such a hurry to close the deal.
▪️Stolar wants to give the money entirely in cash, and for the payment to be processed as coming from a PEP.
The mechanism is simple:
🔻open an account,
🔻Stolar files declarations under the guise of lawful dividends,
🔻the bank credits the money and executes the payment.
Stolar’s lawyers have already come to the bank. Belashov persuades everyone and promises the money, but the managers of the bank—not him—will be held accountable, so internally everything is being blocked. Employees say they don’t even have the right to open an account for Stolar, and no one wants to sign these documents.
🤷♂️It’s clear that #НБУ will cut everyone’s heads off for this. But Belashov assures that Stolar has settled everything with the NBU. And if it goes wrong, Belashov will simply take 10 million for the actual sale of the bank, another almost 4 million from the NBU for surrendering the license, and he’ll be set. The main bet is that the NBU will look the other way because of NBU Deputy Governor Dmytro #Олійник, with whom Stolar is in contact.
Previously Stolar already tried through the same Oliynyk to set up the bank and raid it in order to later buy the license through the NBU. This was a day before the NBU committee meeting where they decided whether to remove the bank from problem status or involve the Deposit Guarantee Fund. Oliynyk pushed for the Fund, but NABU searches at Stolar’s began, a pause occurred, and the bank’s people convinced the committee members.
In essence, as they say at the bank, the truth was on their side. But, according to our information, it wasn’t arguments that decided it, but almost 💰400 thousand that were distributed before the committee to employees and committee participants. The committee is headed by Oliynyk himself. Problem status was removed, and no one was afraid to take the money.
📌The second is Crystalbank, controlled by Stolar. Formally Stolar is not among the owners, but Stolar registered 50% of the bank to Oksana and Leonid Hrebinsky, and another 50% is registered to Maryna Lening. Leonid Hrebinsky chairs the bank’s management board; Oksana Hrebinska sits on the supervisory board.
✅We filed complaints with national and international regulators demanding checks of Crystalbank and Ukrainian Capital regarding circumvention of financial monitoring, money laundering in favor of Astion and Stolar, including for bail, and cover-up by the NBU and NABU.
