Ukraine’s national anti-corruption agency today declared the former governor of the central bank wanted, Kirill Shevchenkoalong with two Ukrgazbank employees on suspicion of embezzling more than 200 billion hryvnias ($5.42 million).
Shevchenko resigned suddenly on October 4, citing health problems, but later said he was facing political pressure over the reinstatement of an old abuse case against him. He denies that he did anything reprehensible.
Shevchenko took over as governor of Ukraine’s central bank in July 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic, pledging to maintain the bank’s independence and cooperate with the International Monetary Fund.
When he stepped down, he highlighted the bank’s successes since the Russian invasion began on February 24 this year, including the smooth functioning of the financial system and the fact that a panic in the foreign exchange market and a large-scale outflow of foreign currency had been avoided, thereby protecting reserves. .
