While Fried Finance Ukraine depositors are waiting for the return of their money, officials of the National Securities and Stock Market (NCSSMC), make loans on elite cars at the bank of the Substantiary Russian businessman Timur Turlov. This is evidenced by a new portion of declarations, relationships and facts that raise serious questions about the independence and integrity of the commission's management.
A car by an official-on a retired mother
According to the Declaration, the deputy head of the NCSSMSC Office Maxim Ridin is used by Volkswagen Touareg R Line in 2024, which is formally registered for his mother - pensioner Natalia Zlotnikov. The woman does not have a driver's license and does not declare income that would allow the maintenance of such a car. However, the machine itself is in a burden - a loan at JSC "Sky Bank", which is owned by Timur Turlov, included in the NSDC sanction list in October 2022.
Similar history also in the head of the NCSSMC Ruslana Magomedov - according to the same scheme in 2021, Sky Bank issued him a loan for the same car, which was also stated in the declaration.
Turlov, sanctions and billions of depositors
Under the sanctions is not only Turlov, but also his company Fried Finance Ukraine, which blocks the assets of its clients worth about UAH 3.5 billion. This money is not returned even to those who have nothing to do with sanctions - the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada's financial committee was repeatedly stated by Danilo Getmantsev.
Instead, the NCSMS, which should protect investors, actually delayed decisions that would allow to unlock these assets. The situation has been going on for almost three years, but in practice, the commission has not taken any step that would testify to the protection of the rights of deceived depositors.
Bank Partnership instead of regulatory supervision
Particularly cynical is the fact that Sky Bank does not serve individuals, but willingly credits the NCSSMC officials. Sources in the industry indicate that such "loyalty" to officials may not be accidental, but the result of personal instructions of Turlov.
It is significant that Maxim Ridin had previously been dismissed from the post of deputy head of the State Agency for corruption violations. At that time, the same Mikhail Yanchuk, who is now his leader in the NCSSMC, headed the structure. Friends do not forget.
Instead of performing its functions as a regulator and defender of investors, the NCSSMC is transformed into a convenient partner for the sub -financial business. Depositors' money remains blocked for years, and officials go on luxurious cars issued on relatives and paid loans from "friendly" banks.
Whether this history of continuation in law enforcement agencies will be rhetorical. But the public and depositors have the right to know why the state is silently watching the controlling body with the shadow financial interests.
