2.1 Kolomoisky looted $8bn not $5.5bn from Privatbank, suffered from bank run following a court denationalisation decision
The state controlled Privatbank suffered a bank run worth $300mn, or 5% of its total deposits, following two court decisions in May to undo the 2016 nationalisation of the troubled bank and return it to its former owners.
“I won!” was the gleeful reaction by Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky to the news that a Kyiv court ruled that the 2016 nationalisation of his PrivatBank was illegal on April 18.
Separately, the bank’s new management and former governor of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Valaria Gontareva told bne IntelliNews in separate interviews that the former owners looted just under $8bn from the bank – more than the $5.5bn that has previously been reported.
The bank run occurred after a Kyiv court ruled that the NBU failed to prove the existence of a basis for qualifying PJSC CB PrivatBank as insolvent. Another court decision ruled that the letters signed by Kolomoisky promising to recapitalise the bank were also illegal and non-binding.
