Criminal Trail of NBU Head Kyrylo Shevchenko
Today everyone is trying to keep quiet about the “service record” of National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) head Kyrylo Shevchenko, who has held this position since 16.07.2020.
Before that, during the years 2015–2020, he was chairman of the management board of JSC CB Ukrgasbank.
His financial affairs went very well, and he was able to settle in Kyiv, on Bohdan Khmelnytsky Street, 9, where the apartment’s value reaches 500 thousand dollars.
It was precisely during this period (2015–2020) that law enforcement agencies opened criminal proceedings against Shevchenko regarding embezzlement of budget funds.
The list is enormous (No. 42020101070000149 dated 27.05.2020, No. 42019101070000266 dated 17.10.2019, No. 22019000000000275 dated 29.08.2019, No. 22018000000000024 dated 18.01.2018, No. 4201711000000658 dated 18.12.2017, No. 42017100000000546 dated 10.05.2017, No. 22016000000000121 dated 31.03.2016, No. 42015100000001087 dated 24.09.2015, No. 12015100000001087 dated 30.11.2015, No. 42018000000000316 dated 14.02.2018).
Thus, in February 2016, while serving as chairman of Ukrgasbank’s management board, Shevchenko caused damage to the state during the “controlled” sale of overdue debt of the agroholding Kreativ in the amount of 95,7 million US dollars at an undervalued price in favor of the agro-industrial company Kernel, owned by Andriy Verevskyi. This sale procedure was personally overseen by Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
As a result of the deal, Kernel effectively acquired for next to nothing an oil-extraction complex in Kirovohrad region with its infrastructure, whose market value at the time was about 150 million hryvnias. However, Ukrgasbank’s chairman Kyrylo Shevchenko, who was supposed to act in the interests of the state bank, did not seize the pledged property for the bank’s benefit and decided to sell the rights to claims under Kreativ’s loan agreements, which caused damage to the state totaling more than 80 million US dollars.
Earlier, in February 2015, Kyrylo Shevchenko personally lobbied Arseniy Yatsenyuk for the takeover of assets and liabilities of JSC AKB Kyiv by Ukrgasbank, for which 633 million hryvnias were allocated from the state budget (if the Deposit Guarantee Fund had been liquidated, no more than 200 million hryvnias would have been allocated from the budget). After that, part of the state funds were misappropriated by issuing loans to entities controlled by Shevchenko and his business partners.
Another noteworthy point was the conclusion of agreements to assign rights to claims under JSC AKB Kyiv’s loan agreements at an undervalued price in favor of LLC FC Kredit Garant (39500887), while that company was a debtor of the insolvent AKB Kyiv.
