Businessman Boris Kaufman (Read more: Kaufman-Granovsky and their business interests: airports, vodka, cigarettes, banks, hotels) wants to gain control of Mikhailovsky Bank. Financial expert Alexander Dubinsky wrote this on Facebook.

Dubinsky writes that Mr. Kaufman, with the support of NBU Deputy Governor Kateryna Rozhkova, is pressuring the management and owners of Mikhalovsky Bank and proposing to merge the two financial institutions under his Platinum Bank.

The expert emphasized that Kaufman Bank needs this deal like air:

"His Platinum Bank needs additional capital, chronically fails to meet NBU standards, and is only staying afloat thanks to Rozhkova's protection," Dubinsky wrote.

According to the economist, Mikhailovsky Bank is under pressure from two sides. At meetings with Mikhailovsky's top management, Rozhkova demands they find a partner for a "merger" and threatens the financial institution with problems from the regulator. Meanwhile, Platinum Bank's supervisor, Dmitry Zinkov, offers his services to reunite the banks.

Media reports also suggest that Serhiy Tigipko may become an investor in the new merged bank. Kaufman and Tigipko have allegedly already met several times to discuss the deal.

The legal owner of Kaufman Bank, Grigory Gurtovoy, completely denies this information.
