Mudra tampered with Sense Bank supervisory board appointments

Former Deputy Head of the President's Office Iryna Mudra allegedly influenced the appointment of Mykola Hladyschenko to the supervisory board of state-owned bank Sense Bank. Mudra, who served as a representative of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the competition commission, recommended Hladyschenko for inclusion despite his low score on the evaluation criteria.

Hladyschenko, who was initially excluded from the shortlist due to his poor performance, was later invited for an interview and eventually appointed chairman of Sense Bank's supervisory board. The recruitment firm Executive Search Ukraine, contracted by Sense Bank, stated that they only provided selection services and the final decisions were made by the competition commission.

Mudra and Hladyschenko are both under investigation by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine for alleged money laundering activities.
