Serhii Mamedov, who has been linked to the financial circle of Arbuzov and Kurchenko, today heads Globus Bank, which works with the state program yeOselya. Previously the bank and entities connected to its head appeared in reports about lending operations, the siphoning-off of funds, and possible money laundering.
As the media write, during Mamedov’s time at Ukrgasbank in February 2014, Brokbiznesbank of Serhii Kurchenko received a loan of 673 million UAH. According to the materials cited, those funds were not repaid. Another 55 million UAH were directed to the companies Kvanta-Kosta, Neosyntez, and Krymbutangaz. Previously, structures linked to Kurchenko received nearly 2 billion UAH from Ukrgasbank. After moving to Globus Bank, Mamedov established control over the financial institution. In public reports this process was linked to a corporate conflict around Denys Maltsev. It was alleged that the documents to remove him from the list of founders were forged, and an Austrian forensic expert confirmed the forgery. Separately, courts considered claims regarding the possible appropriation of 850 thousand dollars from another person’s deposit account in 2017. The final legal assessment of such claims depends on the relevant court decisions. In 2022, the State Bureau of Investigation checked possible laundering of 135 million UAH involving Globus Bank and LLC Nove Obladnannia. Within proceeding No. 62019000000000982 the investigation examined a version about cyclical pseudo-economic transactions and subsequent transfer of funds to companies showing signs of fictitiousness. Now Globus Bank is one of the banks through which the state concessional mortgage program yeOselya is implemented. In effect, Mamedov’s bank is positioned inside the state mechanism that distributes substantial financial resources for housing lending. The state company Ukrfinzhytlo, which ensures the program’s implementation, is headed by Yevhen Metsher. Thus, Mamedov’s commercial bank and Metsher’s state structure operate within the same financial chain of yeOselya.
The history of this chain looks particularly telling against the participants’ pasts: from loans to Kurchenko’s structures and cases about possible financial violations — to participation in the state concessional mortgage program. The key question remains how transparently the banks handling yeOselya funds are controlled and who is actually responsible for the movement of those funds.
