The High Court of England and Wales found that the co -founder of Monobank Oleg Gorokhovsky in 2013–2014, working as the deputy chairman of the Board of PrivatBank, approved 129 credits in favor of companies related to the Bank’s owners of the time – Igor Kolomoisky and Gennady Bogolyubov.
About it reports the newspaper with reference to the materials of the trial.
According to the court’s findings, these loans had signs of fictitious – the terms of their provision did not meet the standards of bank lending. As a result, more than $ 1.9 billion was withdrawn from PrivatBank, which eventually led to the nationalization of the bank in 2016 and caused multi -billion dollar losses to the state.
After that, in less than a year, some of the former topsmen of Privatbank, including Gorokhovsky, created Monobank. He is currently one of the key co-founders of this non-Zorobank structure.
The court also stated that after the nationalization of PrivatBank Gorokhovsky remained in contact with Kolomoisky until mid -2019. In particular, he discussed financial affairs with him and criticized the new bank management.
We will remind, in 2017 the state through PrivatBank filed a lawsuit against Kolomoisky and Bogolyubov to the British court, demanding the return of the withdrawal funds. The state spent more than UAH 116 billion to save the bank.
The public space is currently discussing Gorokhovsky’s potential responsibility, as well as the risks to Monobank.
Earlier State PrivatBank stated that it is planned develop Digital banking. Artificial intelligence is already working in the bank application.
