Loss of quorum at Sense Bank: former chair of the Supervisory Board accused state agencies of deliberately blocking work
The first composition of the Supervisory Board of Sense Bank was not formed due to inaction by state agencies; later, Veselyi became involved in the formation.
This was reported by the Anti-Corruption Center "MEZHA".
Former chair Shevki Adzhuner claims that state agencies deliberately failed to fully staff the first composition of Sense Bank’s Supervisory Board despite numerous warnings. And candidates for the next Supervisory Board, as revealed by the “Mindich tapes,” were discussed by Sense Bank’s former advisor Vasyl Veselyi.
According to Adzhuner, only five of nine members were appointed to the first Supervisory Board. At the end of the transition period, six members were required for a quorum.
Adzhuner and other board members repeatedly warned state agencies: without new appointments the Supervisory Board would lose its quorum, be unable to make decisions, and would cease overseeing the bank’s operations. But the composition was not completed. That is exactly what happened. The Supervisory Board lost its ability to make decisions.
At the same time, Adzhuner emphasizes that he did not resign. The independent members were also ready to continue working. In his view, the state only needed to appoint the missing members to restore the quorum. Instead, they began forming the Supervisory Board from scratch.
Then Vasyl Veselyi appears in this story — advisor to the head of Sense Bank, a position for which he was recommended by the NBU governor Andriy Pyshnyi. On the “Mindich tapes” Veselyi, together with Oleksandr Tsukerman, discussed candidates for the new composition of the state bank’s Supervisory Board.
Later, UAH 150 million in cash was illegally laundered through Sense Bank.
As the ANTICOR portal previously reported, former chair of the Supervisory Board of Sense Bank Shevki Adzhuner (who headed it in 2023) said that Andriy Pyshnyi, governor of the National Bank of Ukraine, personally introduced Vasyl Veselyi to him as the person who “was to establish communication between the Supervisory Board and stakeholders.”
