The banks, which cooperated with the money-laundering center, exposed by the Security Service of Ukraine in late May, should be deprived of licenses, including those on foreign exchange transactions, Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko has said.
"The banks should be deprived of licenses, including those on foreign exchange transactions," the president said at a meeting with Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko in Kyiv on Friday.
Yuschenko also said that heads of these banking institutions should stand trial.
