Donated cryptocurrency to the Russian army — SBU detained the director of a department of one of the largest banks in Ukraine

In Kyiv, SBU officers detained a high-ranking official who contributed to the financing of Russian aggression against Ukraine. The perpetrator turned out to be the head of the Information Systems Support Department of one of the country's leading banks.

According to the investigation, he systematically transferred his own funds to support the occupation forces. To do this, after the start of a full-scale war, the banker opened an account on one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world.

Later, through this platform, he transferred funds to the digital wallets of the Russians. Currently, law enforcement officers are establishing the exact amounts of his «donations».

It is noted that the Ukrainian banker received information about the collection of money for the needs of the occupiers on thematic Telegram channels.

The SBU documented the official's crimes and detained him at his place of residence in Kyiv.

During a search of the detainee's home, a passport of a Russian citizen, Russian rubles, mobile phones, and a computer with evidence of crimes were found.

The man was suspected of aiding the aggressor state. He is currently being held without bail.
