The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court (SAC) supported the request of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) and collected the 5 million hryvnias bail that was made for the former deputy head of the board of Privatbank Lyudmila Shmalchenko.
This was reported by the SAP press service.
The reason for the corresponding decision was the defendant’s failure to appear at two court sessions. According to the Anti-Corruption Center, Shmalchenko left Ukraine on October 30, 2022 and has not returned since then.
The court found the reasons for the non-appearance to be irrelevant and decided to increase the amount of the bail to 51 million hryvnias.
At the same time, strict procedural obligations were imposed on the accused: she must appear at every court demand, not leave the borders of the Dnipropetrovsk region without permission, notify about a change of place of residence and work, refrain from communicating with other accused in the case.
She is also obliged to hand over all foreign passports and documents allowing departure from Ukraine.
SAP reminds that within the framework of the pre-trial investigation, it was established that the former chairman of the board of Privatbank CB PJSC, his first deputy, deputy, as well as three department heads of the specified bank in December 2016, the day before CB Privatbank PJSC was declared insolvent on the basis of false documents, about UAH 223 million were paid at the bank’s expense in favor of companies controlled and related to PJSC CB “Privatbank”.
The funds were transferred in several tranches to two different companies: UAH 85.2 million to the account of one company related to the participants of the scheme, another UAH 136.8 million to the benefit of another. In the future, the participants of the scheme took these funds abroad for the purpose of legalization.
