Corruption is eating Ukraine like gangrene

A security expert, commenting on the case of Oleksandr Zyma, director of the legal department of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), said that corruption in Ukraine is an "incurable disease" that requires urgent and decisive measures.

Oleksandr Zyma, director of the legal department of the National Bank, should be suspended from his duties during the investigation of the criminal proceedings against him.  It is about the alleged abuse of power or official position by Zima, which led to serious consequences. Security expert Serhii Shabovta expressed this opinion

Our state today is completely consumed by corruption. And the fact is that those officials who complete their tasks in this "direction" are protected in any way. I am convinced that when the proceedings have already been opened, when certain circumstances of the crimes have already been proven - that is, the victims are present - against this background, of course, the official should be removed from his position. And believe me, there are more than enough procedural rules for this

Shabovta noted.

According to him, influential persons can help officials to avoid criminal responsibility. In particular, in the case of Zima, it may be the management of the National Bank, which is also probably an accomplice and organizer of violations.

"Corruption is still an incurable disease of Ukraine, which eats away at it like gangrene, and no one has taken any decisive actions or decisions so far... such officials (such as Zima - ed.) should be removed from their positions at least for the duration of the investigation, and released upon the fact of proving guilt in court and closing the case," Shabovta emphasized.

The Shevchenkiv District Court of Kyiv recognized Yulia Sosyedka, the co-founder of Concord Bank, as a victim in the criminal proceedings regarding the alleged abuse of power or official position, which led to grave consequences, by the director of the legal department of the National Bank of Ukraine, Oleksandr Zyma.

The criminal case concerns a letter from the National Bank of Ukraine to the Deposit Guarantee Fund of Individuals signed by Oleksandr Zyma, with which he recommended the Fund to withdraw the lawsuits filed by "Concord" against the NBU. The document referred to four lawsuits filed by Concord Bank against the NBU, in which the bank demanded the cancellation of fines totaling almost 63.5 million hryvnias. These lawsuits were filed even before the National Bank decided to liquidate "Concord" and introduced a temporary administration there.

Olena Sosyedka, co-founder of AKB Concord JSC, stated that the National Bank of Ukraine ignored the proposals of the shareholders of Concord Bank before its liquidation, and then they were also deprived of the right to a fair trial at the behest of the regulator.
