General director of “Ukrainian Energy Machines” JSC (formerly JSC “Turboatom”) Viktor Subotin refutes the information published in some media about his alleged with drawal of funds from the enterprise through “Megabank”.
On September 14–15, news appeared on a number of websites, the primary source of which was ex-people’s deputy Oleksandr Chernenko. On his Facebook page, Chernenko wrote in particular that “the director of the state-owned “Turboatom” withdrew 1.4 billion UAH from the enterprise through his “Megabank.”Chernenko’s message also contained the phrase “Megabank” was declared insolvent, but his problems arose not because of a full-scale war, but long before it."
One notes that as of September 15, this post on Chernenko’s Facebook page had already been deleted.
According to Subotin, the decision of the District Administrative Court of the city of Kyiv in case No. 640/12723/22 was declared unlawful and the decision of the Board of the National Bank of Ukraine dated June 2, 2022 “On classifying the joint stock company“Megabank” as insolvent” was cancelled. This decision was upheld by the decision of the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal.
According to Subotin, by the decision of the District Administrative Court of the city of Kyiv in case No. 640/12723/22, the decision of the Board of the National Bank of Ukraine dated June 2, 2022 “On classifying the joint stock company “Megabank” as insolvent” was declared illegal and cancelled. This decision was upheld by the decision of the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal.
“So, the court’s decision has entered into legal force and completely refutes the published information on this matter,” – Subotin emphasizes.
Regarding the alleged withdrawal of funds from “Turboatom”, the general director emphasized that all funds that were on the accounts of “Ukrainian Energy Machines” JSC(formerly “Turboatom”) are still accounted for in full on the corresponding accounts in JSC “Megabank”. Subotin categorically denies the fact of withdrawal of funds.
“As a result of illegal actions to carry out the liquidation procedure of JSC“Megabank”, the funds were temporarily blocked, but no withdrawal of funds outside the bank occurred. In addition, the fact of illegal blocking of the correspondent account of JSC“Megabank” by the National Bank of Ukraine in order to prevent the transfer funds from an account in “Ukrainian Energy Machines” JSC to the company’s accounts in other banks are also the subject of consideration of the above-mentioned court case No. 640/12723/22,” – Subotin said.
He also emphasized that ex-people’s deputy Chernenko was found guilty of corruption in 2020 and received a suspended sentence. Subotin associates Chernenko’s actions in disseminating false information with the ex-people’s deputy’s desire to gain personal benefit.
Viktor Subotin demands that the media refute false information – according to him, corresponding letters will be sent to all sites that disseminated Chernenko’s message.
If the refutation is refused, the general director of “Ukrenergymachines” will prepare declarements.
