Vitaly Masyura
The property of Masyura and his immediate family has already been seized. Former First Deputy Director of Delta Bank, Vitaliy Masyura, is suspected of embezzling over $50 million from the bank, which, according to investigative authorities, amounted to approximately UAH 1,2 billion at the time of the crime. According to ZN.UA, on January 23 of this year, investigator S. Vyshnevskyi of the Pechersk Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv sent Masyura a notice of suspicion for several criminal offenses (a copy is available to the editorial staff).
In particular, he abused his official position to facilitate the withdrawal of over $50 million from Delta Bank's correspondent accounts, followed by its appropriation. The document was approved by S. Mazuryk, prosecutor of the Kyiv Local Prosecutor's Office No. 6 of the Kyiv Region for criminal proceedings. The former Delta Bank official is suspected of deliberate actions consisting of: - embezzlement of another's property through abuse of office, committed on an especially large scale (Part 5, Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine); - the preparation by an official of knowingly false official documents that led to grave consequences (Part 2, Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The grounds for suspecting V. Masyura of committing the relevant crimes were the evidence established by the investigation (as a result of reviewing the materials of the combined criminal proceedings entered into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations under No. 12015100060007565 dated 11/24/2015) sufficient to suspect a person of committing a criminal offense (in accordance with Articles 42, 276, 277, 278 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine).
Thus, the investigation considers it established that in late 2014, V. Masyura, without the appropriate approval of Delta Bank's credit committee, signed a pledge agreement under which the bank provided a security deposit of over $50,63 million for the obligations of the offshore company Jamico Finance Ltd (British Virgin Islands) to Bank Winter & Co AG (Austria). He also granted Bank Winter & Co AG the right to independently debit funds from Delta Bank's correspondent account. This was done after Bank Winter & Co AG notified Delta Bank in writing of the offshore company's failure to fulfill its loan obligations. This, according to the investigation, subsequently led to the illegal debiting of the aforementioned amount from Delta Bank's correspondent account and the corresponding financial damages to the bank.
The notice has not yet been served directly to Mr. Masyura, as, according to investigators, he left Ukraine on January 22, 2015, and is currently in London. As part of the investigation, the Pechersky District Court, at the request of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office, has already seized the property of Mr. Masyura and his immediate family members: residential and commercial properties, as well as 15 vehicles, including a 4-door Range Rover, a Bentley Continental GT, a Mercedes GL- and S-Class, an Audi R8, an Audi A8, a BMW 7-Series, and a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.
