According to NABU and SAPO, in 2014–2020 the management of the state-owned JSB “Ukrgasbank” executed fictitious agreements with 52 individuals and legal entities that allegedly attracted large clients to the bank, and paid them an “agency fee” to accounts actually controlled by the scheme's participants; in total over UAH 206 million. In October 2022 a notice of suspicion was served, among others, on the then Governor of the NBU, the bank's former Chairman of the Board (the facts do not relate to his work at the NBU); he was put on the wanted list. On 28 February 2025 the indictment against 8 members of a criminal organisation headed by the bank's former Chairman of the Board was sent to court; another 8 persons concluded plea agreements. The name Kyrylo Shevchenko is given by LB.ua. There is no verdict regarding the former Chairman of the Board.
