In November 2016, on 13 occasions, the National Bank of Ukraine provided the law enforcement agencies with access to the documents and items of evidence required to investigate criminal offences committed in the banking sector. Such access was provided upon the request of:  

  • the General Prosecutor's office - on 4 occasions;

  • the National Police of Ukraine – on 8 occasions.

Overall, on 140 occasions over the first eleven months of 2016, the NBU provided the law enforcement agencies with information regarding offences committed in the banking sector.

As a side note, in March 2015, the Ukrainian parliament passed a law On Amendments to Certain Legal Acts of Ukraine on the Responsibility of Bank's Related Parties which imposed criminal responsibility on  the bank managers and  owners for actions that  led to the bank's insolvency, thereby causing  material damage to the State or a creditor.
