It will be recalled that on January 18, the Security Service of Ukraine announced that it had detained in Kyiv the director of the Department of one of the largest banks of Ukraine, who “donated” to the Russian army.
“The security service detained a high-ranking official in Kyiv who is involved in the financing of Russia’s war against Ukraine. According to the case file, he turned out to be the director of the Information Systems Support Department of one of Ukraine’s largest banks.
As the investigation established, the suspect regularly transferred his money to the needs of the occupying groups of Russia. To do this, already after the start of a full-scale war, the banker opened an account on one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges.
In the future, through this platform, the person involved transferred funds to the digital wallets of Rashists. Currently, law enforcement officers are determining the exact amount of his “donations”. According to the case materials, the Ukrainian banker received information about the collection of money for the needs of the occupiers on thematic Telegram channels. – the message says.
During the searches, a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, cash in Russian rubles, mobile phones, as well as computer equipment containing evidence of illegal activity were found in his apartment.
