The Prosecutor General's Office has formally charged Serhiy Kurchenko with embezzling 5,6 billion hryvnias from several banks.

According to the Prosecutor General's Office, the funds belonged to the National Bank, Ukrgasbank, PJSC Agrarian Fund, as well as depositors at Brokbusinessbank and Real Bank. According to the Prosecutor General's Office, Kurchenko illegally acquired these funds and then laundered them.

By court order, Kurchenko was arrested in absentia. His assets, totaling 2,8 billion hryvnias, were also seized.

It's worth noting that Serhiy Kurchenko's VETEK Group was Real Bank's largest client and also a minority shareholder. Brokbusinessbank was acquired by the oligarch in 2013, but began experiencing problems in 2014.

Along with Kurchenko, former head of the National Bank Igor Sorkin and head of the board of Real Bank Vladimir Agafonov are also charged in the embezzlement case.
