The Vienna Commercial Court has granted Oschadbank’s request for a preliminary injunction in the case concerning the protection of its business reputation regarding the so-called “Hungarian case.” This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian", citing EP.
According to media reports, the court ordered former MP Boryslav Bereza to refrain from disseminating, particularly on social media, statements containing accusations against Oschadbank and its officials, as well as to remove any previous such posts. Failure to comply with the injunction may result in a fine of up to 100,000 euros for each violation.

Oschadbank stated that the next step will be to file a main lawsuit in Austria to obtain a final court injunction against the dissemination of false information.
Facebook and Telegram were also notified of the decision to enforce the removal of the posts if the defendant does not do so voluntarily.
Who is Boryslav Bereza?
Borislav Bereza is a former member of parliament who publicly put forward a theory about a possible scheme to siphon off money and gold via Oschadbank’s cash-in-transit vehicles. An Austrian court ruled this to be defamation.
As a reminder, on March 5, 2026, two Oschadbank cash-in-transit vehicles were detained in Hungary while transporting $40 million, 35 million euros, and 9 kg of bank gold from Vienna to Kyiv.
Oschadbank stated that this was a legal transport under an agreement with Raiffeisen Bank Austria and in accordance with European customs regulations.
Following this, Boryslav Bereza publicly stated that this was a possible scheme to launder capital through Oschadbank’s cash-in-transit vehicles. The bank considers these statements to be untrue and damaging to its business reputation.
