Lawyers of the former head of the Board of Alliance Bank, who is a suspect in the case, appealed to the NABU with a request to recognize her as a victim. However, the senior detective of the Bureau issued a ruling of refusal. Therefore, the lawyers further tried to cancel this ruling in the Supreme Court of Ukraine.

VAKS refused to recognize the former head of the Bank’s Board as a victim, too, not satisfying the complaint of the lawyer.
Earlier it was reported that in the “case of Kudrytsky” NABU announced suspicion of Julia Frolova. She was in charge of “Alliance Bank” since March 13, 2022. Since the woman is abroad, she was declared in the international wanted list.
on January 11, 2024 NABU and SAP exposed the scheme of seizure of electric energy of PJSC “NEC Ukrenergo” and legalization of funds received from its sale. The amount of losses, according to the investigation, is more than 716 million hryvnias. Four persons have already been notified of suspicion.
The investigation found that in March 2022, United Energy LLC, at that time one of the largest traders in Ukraine, purchased electricity from PJSC NEC Ukrenergo for more than UAH 716 million. Despite the company’s debts to the company, the management of Ukrenergo did not stop the sale. At the same time, Alliance Bank itself acted as a guarantor of payment.
The NABU has not yet declared suspicions against Volodymyr Kudrytskyy in this case.
