Leonid Antonenko, a Kyiv City Council member from Samopomich and former head of a department at the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), wrote on Facebook that the Kyiv-based Khreshchatyk Bank was secretly transferred to entities located in Cyprus, the Seychelles, Panama, and Belize. Kyiv City Council members, in turn, wanted to inject 150 million hryvnias into the financial institution. According to Antonenko, the former owners of Khreshchatyk Bank simply transferred the financial institution to front men to conceal the investment's intended destination.
However, as the deputy emphasized, his faction in the Kyiv City Council voted alone against the decision to provide additional funding for Khreshchatyk Bank from the Kyiv budget.
Antonenko believes it is irresponsible to pour capital funds into the financial institution, since it is unknown who currently controls the bank.
"Allocating millions of hryvnias to offshore companies while the capital is unable to pay off its own bonds is a true financial scam. The majority of Kyiv City Council deputies, unfortunately, supported this scam," noted the Samopomich MP.
Antonenko emphasized that no one would have known until now that Khreshchatyk Bank had been bought by companies from offshore zones, and everyone believed that the financial institution was owned by Mr. Khmelnytsky. (read more about it in the article Vasyl Khmelnytsky: the planted oligarch) and Ivanov. Deputies from Sadovyi's faction and activists forced the management of Khreshchatyk Bank to submit documents to the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) proving that Khmelnytskyi and Ivanov had simply transferred their shares to offshore companies and front men so they could easily siphon off state funds allocated by the Kyiv City Council.
