Yevhen Metzger is the former chairman of the board of the Ukreximbank state bank, which in 2021 rocked Ukraine with a scandal after his subordinates attacked Radio Liberty journalists.
Metzger then ordered the camera to be taken away, and the incident was caught on video.
After the publicity, he resigned, but later returned to the public sector – this time as the head of the Ukrfinzhitlo institution, which is the provider of the Yeosel mortgage program.
Despite participating in state projects for Ukrainians, Metzger himself actively invests abroad.
It is known that in 2024 he invested 500 thousand euros in the company Valetono Development GMBH, which is engaged in construction and real estate operations in Austria.
The owner of the company is Matvey Gutman, an entrepreneur of Jewish origin who was born in Tashkent, worked for some time in Moscow, and later became a top manager of the Austrian bank Meinl Bank AG.
It was this bank that appeared in investigations into the withdrawal of funds from Ukraine and other post-Soviet countries.
The Metzger family has been spending a lot of time in Vienna lately.
The couple’s youngest son studies at an Austrian school, so the banker’s wife Julia Metzger lives mainly in the Austrian capital, renting an apartment with an area of more than 140 square meters with her husband.
At the end of 2025, Yulia declared a monetary gift in the amount of more than 7.4 million hryvnias, which was made on the territory of Austria.
To whom exactly she gave these funds, the declaration does not indicate – it is possible that their eldest son received the gift.
We will remind you that the appeals court is considering the case of the ex-chairman of the board of Ukreximbank, Yevhen Metzger, who, together with accomplices-bankers, attacked the journalists of “Scheme” during an interview.
Also, why Yevhen Metzger escaped responsibility for the attack on journalists.
