The National Police is investigating a criminal case involving embezzlement and misappropriation of funds by Friedrich Pollack, former director of Union Standard Bank (USB). This was revealed in a ruling by the Odesa District Court on April 28, 2016.
Investigative documents revealed that Pollak, while director of USB Bank, conspired with an advisor to the financial institution's chairman of the board to steal more than 405 euros, 63,5 million hryvnias, and $44 from the bank.
Before the National Bank introduced a temporary administration at USB, Pollack gave verbal instructions to his subordinates and transferred funds from Kyiv to other bank branches to the accounts he specified.
As a reminder, on September 30, 2015, YUSB employees prevented NBU commission representatives from entering the building. As Kateryna Rozhkova, head of the NBU's Banking Supervision Department, wrote in her blog, "this time was sufficient to transfer the funds to other financial institutions or bank branches for subsequent withdrawal."
Rozhkova noted that "while National Bank employees searched throughout Ukraine for these funds, Mr. Pollack provided 'financial assistance' to 52 individuals in amounts ranging from 250 UAH to 295 UAH," the official concluded.
