PGO, SAPO and NABU investigating proceedings on recent years' events at PrivatBank

The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine (PGO), and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) together with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) are investigating a number of proceedings related to the events of recent years at PrivatBank (Kyiv), Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko has said.

"I know that SAPO jointly with NABU, and the Prosecutor General's Office are now actively investigating a number of proceedings related to the events of recent years at PrivatBank," he told journalists in Kyiv.

Lutsenko noted on Monday he had a meeting on two key episodes regarding PrivatBank.

"In December, after the National Bank of Ukraine had made the decision on the connectedness of two firms with the leadership of PrivatBank, they were refinanced for a huge sum, for billions of hryvnias, which were not returned," the prosecutor general said.

According to him, the investigators also have questions to the members of the National Bank's credit committee, who have been questioned in the last two weeks, as well as NBU representatives, who were supposed to supervise the process of re-registration of loans.

"The investigator asks similar questions one and the other side, and after carrying out appropriate examinations or audits, the Prosecutor General's Office will be ready to put forward a suspicion," Lutsenko said.
