He is being asked for $46 billion.
Deposit Guarantee Fund for Individuals filed a lawsuit with the Economic Court of Kyiv against the honorary president of Vorskla Konstantin Zhevago.
The former people’s deputy is required to compensate for the losses of the Finance and Credit Bank and its creditors in the amount of almost 46 billion hryvnias. Zhevago recently resigned as director and stepped down from the board of directors of Ferrexpo, which is a sponsor of the football club. Also, the former People’s Deputy of Ukraine was sent under extradition arrest.
In December, Zhevago was detained in the ski resort of Courchevel in the French Alps. He is suspected of embezzling the property of the Finance and Credit Bank, in which Zhevago was listed as a beneficiary, in the amount of 2.5 billion hryvnias. In December 2015, it was decided to revoke the banking license and liquidate Finance and Credit.
Since July last year, Zhevago has been on the international wanted list. The businessman also actively spoke out against the Russian military invasion of Ukraine. In the updated ranking of the richest people in Ukraine from Forbes, the president of Vorskla took fifth place.
The Poltava club is in the 9th place in the UPL standings. The head coach of Vorskla this season is Viktor Skripnik.
