Journalist Oleksandr Dubinsky reported that state-owned Ukrgasbank is preparing a loan agreement for one of the companies of Arseniy Yatsenyuk's associate, MP Andriy Ivanchuk (read more about him: Andriy Ivanchuk: Friend of Yatsenyuk and Lobbyist for Kolomoisky ). The amount Ukrgasbank plans to allocate to the parliamentarian is approximately $30 million.
It is known that these funds will be transferred to FUIB to acquire the rights to claim on the Chuguev Oil Extraction Plant's loan. As the journalist noted:
"The embezzlement of state funds under this scheme is colossal. Akhmetov's FUIB paid UAH 157 million for this asset to the Deposit Guarantee Fund, which went toward compensating Forum Bank's creditors. MP Ivanchuk, in turn, is paying Akhmetov almost UAH 900 million using Ukrgasbank's money. You can calculate for yourself the amount by which the Deposit Guarantee Fund, Akhmetov, and Ivanchuk cheated Forum Bank's depositors," Dubinsky wrote.
The journalist cited an interesting fact in his publication. He wrote that Ivanchuk's people are believed to be involved in the "squeezing" of the oil extraction business of Creative Group for Andriy Verevskyi's Kernel Group of Companies (read more about him: Agrarian Andriy Verevskyi: The Success Story of a Former Party of Regions and BYuT Member ).
In February 2016, Ukrgasbank CEO Kyrylo Shevchenko, with the help of then-Prime Minister Yatsenyuk, pushed through a murky deal to sell Creative Group's debt to Verevskyi's company through the bank's supervisory board. Mr. Verevskyi thus became a debtor to the state-owned bank. Ivanchuk, in turn, will now become the nominal shareholder of Verevskyi's business and, apparently, a so-called problem debtor for Ukrgasbank.
Ivanchuk and Verevskyi are unlikely to repay their debt to Ukrgasbank, Dubinsky believes.
