The Verkhovna Rada Committee on Financial Policy and Banking and the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Corruption Prevention and Counteraction planning to hold joint meeting on violations during banking crisis, Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Financial Policy and Banking Serhii Rybalka has said.
He noted that it is planned to consider the results of work of law enforcement bodies on activity of employees and owners of insolvent banks as well as officials of the National Bank of Ukraine. Serhii Rybalka said he was not aware of any exact date, however, the joint meeting of the two committees was planned for the following plenary week.
Serhii Rybalka also said "when it is about political rivals, law enforcement officers, especially employees of the Prosecutor General's Office, act very rapidly. However, we are talking about hundreds of thousand of depositors and enterprises, which lost their funds on the accounts with bankrupt banks. However, no court rulings has yet been obtained. Our task is to hold public examination of the situation and hear representatives of the prosecutor's office, Central Bank, and other bodies and make respective conclusions."
He reminded that in compliance with the data for the Deposit Guarantee Fund, last year, the total amount of claims within over 2,100 applications made up UAH 132.7 billion, and law enforcement bodies of Ukraine have handed over only seven official notifications of suspicion.
The people's deputy also reminded that in early 2015, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the law that toughens responsibility of end owners and employees of commercial banks.
