The DGF considers such actions fraudulent and filed a relevant application with law enforcement authorities.

In particular, 46 facilities of real estate being on the bank's balance sheet since 2015 were transferred by a state registrar to ownership of an individual on December 13, 2018, in keeping with a court ruling on the case, according to the DGF's website.
At the same time, the Fund noted that the main decision on the court case had no relation to VTB Bank and its property, and the statement of claim in the case was dismissed without a hearing on the merits in January 2016.
At the same time, the individual on December 15, 2018, with the help of the same state registrar, contributed all 46 properties to the charter capital of a company registered in the city of Dnipro on November 30, 2018.
It is noted that the Fund considered such actions to be fraudulent and submitted a relevant application with law enforcement agencies. Now it is also drafting an appeal against the court decision.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the Deposit Guarantee Fund on December 19, 2018, launched the procedure to liquidate VTB Bank. Temporary administration installed by the National Bank had been working at the bank since November 28, 2018, after the bank was designated as insolvent.
VTB Bank had been operating in Ukraine since 1992. It was among the 20 largest banks in terms of assets. The bank belonged to the Russian state-owned Vneshtorgbank (VTB).
