The Security Service and the Prosecutor General’s Office have collected evidence that shows that the central bank of the Russian Federation has contributed to the preparation of an aggressive war against Ukraine and continues to support it. This is stated in the notification of the SBU.
According to the case materials and the conclusions of independent research, the head of this financial institution, Elvira Nabiullina, was informed in advance about Putin’s plans for a full-scale invasion of our country and made central bank decisions that ensured military aggression.
For this, according to the investigation, Nabiullina changed the strategy of the central bank in order to support the occupation, avoid sanctions applied to the Russian Federation for invading Ukraine, and also to facilitate the financing of the occupation groups of the aggressor country.
The investigation materials also indicate that funds held in Russian Central Bank accounts opened in foreign jurisdictions are, in fact, one of the instruments of war.
We are talking about almost 300 billion US dollars, which, thanks to international partners of Ukraine, are blocked in the accounts of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation all over the world.
On the basis of the evidence base collected by the SBU and the OGP, this amount may in the future be subject to confiscation as the funds of a legal entity to which criminal-legal measures will be applied, as provided by law.
Currently, within the relevant criminal proceedings, a new suspicion under part 2 of Art. 437 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (planning, preparation, initiation and waging of an aggressive war) was received by the head of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, Elvira Nabiullina.
The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
