At “Oksi Bank,” according to the Office of the Prosecutor General, there was a scheme for laundering funds. Management, for a fee, helped an entrepreneur open accounts, execute risky payments, and circumvent internal financial monitoring.
The investigation determined that the bank’s former head conspired with the entrepreneur and provided the businessman with:
The scheme began to be recorded no later than April 2024. Sole proprietor Oleksandr Vasylovych Bloshchytsky agreed with the chairman of the board of JSC “Oksi Bank,” Vyacheslav Parasach: accounts would be opened without unnecessary questions, risky payments would not be blocked, and financial monitoring would not interfere. The cost of the service was 0,15% of the transaction amounts each month. No time or amount limits were set.
Receipts were sent via Telegram. Money was transferred to personal cards at Universal Bank and Sense Bank, after which part of the sum was paid out in cash in Kyiv.
In January 2025, when the monthly turnover of five firms reached 77 million hryvnias, Bloshchytsky asked for a discount. Parasach proposed new terms: over 250 million — 0,13%, over 500 million — 0,11%.
The following companies carried out operations through “Oksi Bank”:
The first “percentage” payment arrived on 1 July 2024 — 4 637 hryvnias (calculation: 3 091 411 × 0,15%). Payments then arrived almost every month. In January–February 2025 the turnover from which the fee was calculated amounted to 77 million and 94 million hryvnias, respectively. The investigation previously publicly mentioned more than 210 million hryvnias processed through these five companies in the period July 2024–February 2025.
Bloshchytsky was notified of suspicion under part 2 of article 368-3 of the Criminal Code — bribery of an official of a legal entity of private law by prior agreement of a group of persons, committed repeatedly.
Judge Bondarenko approved the agreement with the entrepreneur. Admission of guilt, remorse, cooperation with the investigation, and a promise to testify against an “other person” were grounds for mitigation of the sentence. Bloshchytsky was fined 51 thousand hryvnias. Additionally, he transferred 300 thousand hryvnias to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The banker who received funds on personal cards and in cash is not affected by this verdict. Employees of “Oksi Bank” who, according to the investigation, were involved in the scheme are not named in the verdict. The five companies in the documents appear as “enterprises on behalf of which unidentified persons acted.” Bloshchytsky has already been released from bail. The question of who was on the other side of the scheme with 0,15% is recorded in the text but not disclosed.
“Oksi Bank” is a Ukrainian bank founded in 1991, with its head office in Lviv. Its beneficiary is Lviv businessman Oleh Balyash (50,44%), and another 25% belongs to his wife, Oksana Balyash.
