How NBU, Ministry of Digital Transformation officials and JSC “SENS BANK” organized a scheme to legalize billions and miscoding
✅Our latest procedural victory: the High Anti-Corruption Court granted our complaint. Investigative judge #ВАКС Yevhen Kruk recognized the inaction of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office as unlawful and ordered authorized SAP officials to promptly enter information into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations based on our statement.
The main figures in the investigation are former Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo #Федоров, Iryna #Мудра, NBU Chair Andriy #Пишний, State Financial Monitoring Service head Filip #Пронін, as well as top management of the systemic state-owned JSC “#СЕНС BANK” — CEO Oleksii #Ступак. The above individuals organized ❗ an extensive scheme for unlawful control of the banking sector, legalization of criminal proceeds, and servicing the shadow gambling business.
Senior officials created a stable organized criminal group to exert informal influence on regulatory and managerial decisions in the banking sector. Members of the group ensured the appointment and retention of compliant managers at JSC “SENS BANK,” 🔻 through whose infrastructure fictitious transactions were carried out on a massive scale, miscoding schemes were implemented, and the true purpose of payments was concealed to service shadow financial flows of the gambling market.
Despite systemic violations of financial monitoring requirements, the absence of online real-time transaction monitoring, and the ignoring of procedures for checking high-risk clients, 🤷♂️ regulatory bodies willfully covered up the institution's activities.
📌 A special place in the group's activities is occupied by episodes involving the withdrawal and legalization of capital of the bank's former Russian owners — Mykhailo #Фрідман, Pyotr Aven and Andriy Kosogov. Through controlled Cypriot companies and fictitious deals, schemes were carried out to launder assets on an especially large scale and to evade nationalization of assets.
In the period from 2011 to 2022, more than 💰 161,28 million UAH were laundered through accounts in Russian banking institutions and JSC “Sens Bank.” In addition, the defendants attempted to conceal actual ownership of strategic national assets for extraction and sale of drinking water through the Cypriot company “International Distribution Systems Limited.”
At our request, law enforcement agencies should verify the stated facts for possible commission of criminal offenses provided for in part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Appropriation, embezzlement of property, or seizure of it by abusing official position), part 3 of Art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Legalization (laundering) of proceeds obtained by criminal means), part 3 of Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Intentional evasion of taxes, fees), part 1 of Art. 255 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Creation, leadership of a criminal community or criminal organization).
We will continue strict oversight of the pre-trial investigation and will not allow NBU, the Office of the President, the Ministry of Digital Transformation officials, or banking operators to stall the case. No high position, past service, or corrupt connections will save the defendants from criminal liability.
