Ukrainian authorities seek to fire, suspend Sense Bank’s leadership amid corruption probe
The decisions follow searches conducted by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) at Sense Bank on Aug. 19.
Ukrainian authorities have taken steps to dismiss the head of Sense Bank's supervisory board and suspend its CEO in connection with a corruption investigation, according to reports. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) conducted searches at the bank on August 19, and the suspects are accused of laundering 150 million hryvnias ($3.4 million) and transferring the funds to bail former Justice and Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko.
The investigation is also linked to the Energoatom corruption case, which Halushchenko is charged with. Sense Bank is implicated in the investigation, and the bank's chairman, Mykola Hladyshchenko, has been ruled ineligible to remain on the supervisory board due to a lack of statutory independence.
