Tarasiuk Denys Oleksandrovych

Chief lawyer of "Delta Bank," who after its collapse became the right hand of the sanctioned Lagun

Former director of the legal department of the bankrupt "Delta Bank." After the bank was withdrawn from the market (2015), he did not disappear but retrained as the "asset manager" for the former owner Mykola Lagun: together with lawyer Hanna Hutsaliuk, he founded the law firm "Byright Advocates," which represents Lagun in courts, and manages part of his agricultural businesses. A lawyer who was not left unemployed after the bank's collapse.

Defendant in the case for 23 billion UAH in damages — and owner of "bulk" companies with a criminal track record

At the suit of the Deposit Guarantee Fund, Tarasiuk is one of the defendants in the case for compensation of 23 billion UAH in damages to "Delta" (the difference between payouts to depositors and what could be recovered from the bank's remains). Alongside him in the case are Lagun himself, his sister Antonina, and the former board. Meanwhile, Tarasiuk founded "Royal Prime" and owned the bulk terminal "Oliir Resources" in Chornomorsk, which the media links to schemes of fictitious enterprises in fuel. After sanctions against Lagun, according to investigations, he began "dumping" related firms onto nominees. The one who cleans up after the banker.
