The Presidential Administration instructed the Prosecutor General's Office not to touch the head of the National Bank of Ukraine, Valeria Gontareva (Read more about it in the article Valeria Gontareva. The Glitter and Machinations of the Queen of Coins) regarding the case of Viktor Yanukovych's money, which was located in Oschadbank. This was reported to the publication Hubs MP Alexandra Kirsh said.
"The Prosecutor General's Office remains dependent on Bankova. And it appears they issued a clear order: leave Gontareva alone," Kirsh stated.
Khabsi itself writes that Gontareva's collaboration with Yanukovych's "family" is a complete fiasco for a post-Maidan official of such rank.
As a reminder, Glavkom recently published documents indicating that ICU (Investment Capital Ukraine) purchased foreign currency government bonds totaling UAH 10,7 billion for former Prime Minister Serhiy Arbuzov's Cypriot offshore companies in late 2013. In 2014, these securities, deposited with Oschadbank, were seized.
Gontareva's company considers the purchase of foreign currency government bonds a "standard brokerage operation." The head of the NBU herself has not commented on her involvement in Yanukovych's money laundering schemes.
The Ukrainian President, for his part, is not prepared to abandon his loyal financier. Therefore, the Presidential Administration has issued clear instructions to pursue its best defense and remain silent.
Let us recall that the Prosecutor General's Office refused to disclose information about the progress of the investigation into the case of the Yanukovych "family's" money frozen in Ukrainian banks.
