The National Bank also insists on the dismissal of all persons involved in the NABU case.
During 2022–2026 years, the National Bank of Ukraine conducted 12 inspections of Sense Bank, and the Committee on Banking Supervision and Regulation issued more than 100 decisions regarding the bank. During one of the inspections, a substantial amount of previously unknown confidential protocols was revealed, according to the official statement of the National Bank of Ukraine’s Board.
It is noted that the protocols of the bank's collegiate bodies were uncovered during an inspection completed in April 2025 year. They were handed over to law enforcement.
“An analysis of a substantial amount of data about opaque management practices of the former “Alfa Bank,” used since at least 2013 year, is ongoing and constitutes an important part of the materials used by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine in preparation for the consideration in international arbitration case initiated by the former sanctioned owners,” the regulator reported.
The NBU also expects the government, as the owner, to promptly complete the formation of the supervisory board of the state-owned Sense Bank and to dismiss employees who are mentioned in NABU’s recordings.
“The NBU is open to parliamentary oversight, constructive criticism, and verification of its actions. A detailed report on supervisory actions has already been sent to the government and members of the Verkhovna Rada’s Interim Committee. At the same time, regulator decisions cannot be a reaction to political pressure or unverified personal accusations, but must be based solely on verified facts and the legally established logic,” the statement says.
The regulator adds that after the public release of the investigative materials on the Forrest Gump operation, the National Bank began unplanned inspections of Sense Bank and other banks. It concerns compliance with financial monitoring requirements when serving clients who, according to the published materials, were placing collateral with the VAKS (the High Anti-Courts) for bail.
The NBU emphasizes that it remains ready to investigate each specific fact and to forward materials to law enforcement and other state bodies.
As a reminder, after Sense Bank figured in the Mendech’s recordings, the NBU opened administrative proceedings against its management. Subsequently, the bank also became central to NABU’s Forrest Gump case. According to investigators, in order to launder 150 million hryvnias in cash intended as bail for former energy minister and former justice minister Herman Halushchenko, controlled companies and individuals, as well as Sense Bank’s management, were involved. The materials feature former deputy head of the president’s office Iryna Mudra, former MP Maksym Mikityas, a member of parliament from the former OPZZh Vadym Stolar, the head of Sense Bank’s supervisory board Mykola Hladyschenko, the bank’s head of the board Oleg Stupak, and others.
Against the backdrop of the scandal, the government began updating the bank’s supervisory board, including terminating the authority of its head Mykola Hladyschenko ahead of schedule.
