Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who yesterday joined the supervisory board of Viktor Pinchuk's Credit Dnepr bank, has been charged with fraud, according to the authoritative European publication LesEchos.

It is known that the former managing director of the IMF, Strauss-Kahn, is suspected of fraudulently ruining the company Leyne, Strauss-Kahn & Partners (LSK), and its shareholders lost their funds.

Specifically, it was reported that retiree Alain Yurbash and his wife invested €1,14 million in Strauss-Kahn's company, LSK. The financial firm's CEO promised the pensioners he would increase their wealth. LSK was co-founded by Frenchman Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Israeli businessman Thierry Lane. The latter committed suicide after the company's collapse.

Alain Yurbash claims that Strauss-Kahn, as part of an organized group, abused trust, misrepresented his company, and embezzled €1,14 million from an investor. The Yurbash couple filed a complaint with the prosecutor's office. The investigation revealed that LSK's management concealed the true state of the company, which did not have a banking license. The company went bankrupt just a few months after shareholders injected funds into it.

On February 3, 2015, media reports surfaced that former IMF Managing Director Strauss-Kahn had joined the supervisory board of Credit Dnepr Bank, which is owned by Ukrainian businessman Viktor Pinchuk. In addition to the renowned Frenchman, the Ukrainian financial institution's supervisory board included Alex Muntean, Jean-Pierre Saltiel, and Anders Åslund.
