The State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine (SBI) revealed new facts of violation of financial rules in the case of the withdrawal of 519 million hryvnias from the bank "Finance and Credit". According to the official report of the SBI, oligarch Kostyantyn Zhevago, the former chairman of the bank's board and his two deputies were brought under new suspicion in this case.
According to the SDB, "in May 2007 - October 2010, Zhevago formed a criminal organization, which included the chairman, members of the board of JSC "Bank "Finance and Credit" and other persons close to him. A Ukrainian company controlled by Zhevago received a loan from JSC Bank "Finance and Credit", which was done in violation of lending rules. This money was transferred to other offshore companies of the oligarch."
The SBI has already reported Zhevago's suspicion of creating and leading a criminal organization, misappropriation and embezzlement of property, and legalization of property obtained through crime.
We will remind you that this is not the first criminal case against the oligarch. He and his top managers are also suspected of a number of other episodes.
Ukraine is now seeking his extradition from France. The French court of first instance has already rejected Ukraine's extradition request. The case is now being heard on appeal.
The main asset of Zhevago in Ukraine is Poltava GZK - one of the largest producers of iron ore in the country.
