NEWS ITEM: Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova on March 15 announced additional charges against three former PrivatBank executives for embezzling $300 million. The charges are part of an ongoing investigation into the bank fraud that cost Ukraine $5.5 billion — the money alleggedly moved out of PrivatBank by its former owners and oligarchs Ihor Kolomoisky and Gennadiy Bogolyubov via fraudulent schemes. In 2016, the bank was nationalized. And while Ukraine’s authorities have charged some of the bank’s former executives, they haven’t charged Kolomoisky and Bogolyubov, the alleged masterminds of the scheme, who have repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
