Boris Timonkin
Key facts from the criminal case against the famous banker Boris Timonkin have become known: illegal loans from Brokbusinessbank for Real Bank – 837 million hryvnia, loans to fictitious enterprises of Sergei Kurchenko – 1.437 billion hryvnia, imaginary transactions with the Agrarian Fund – 2.069 billion . hryvnia, 500 million hryvnia – fictitious transactions of Ukrgasbank. Information about the crimes committed by banker Boris Timonkin together with businessman Sergei Kurchenko is set out in the ruling of the Pechersky Court of Kyiv dated August 18, 2015, reports the First Instance. With this decision, the capital’s court authorized the audit of Real Bank, through which, according to investigators, Kurchenko’s team illegally laundered hundreds of millions of hryvnia.
The former chairman of the board of Ukrsotsbank, Boris Timonkin, joined Sergei Kurchenko’s team in July 2013, where he was responsible for the financial direction of VETEK and the work of its banks. In particular, since September 2013, he became a member of the supervisory board of Brokbusinessbank. After Yanukovych’s team fled, he also left Ukraine, allegedly for treatment. In May last year, the Prosecutor General’s Office put him on the international wanted list. Timonkin is charged with forgery of documents and theft of state property on an especially large scale. In the summer of 2015, German police detained the banker, and the issue of extradition to Ukraine is being decided.
Taking into account the charges against Timonkin, nothing good awaits him here.
Thus, according to information from the materials of the Pechersk court, in 2013-2014. Timonkin “participated in a criminal organization created by Sergei Kurchenko to commit grave and especially grave crimes, and was a co-perpetrator.”
According to investigators, two years ago Kurchenko, with the assistance of Timonkin, “to ensure the illegal activities of a criminal organization” acquired 80.0273% of shares in the authorized capital of Brokbusinessbank (with a total nominal value of 2.02 billion hryvnia).
Ownership of the shares was formalized through the purchase and sale of securities by fictitious enterprises controlled by Kurchenko: “East European Fuel and Energy Company”, “Ainam”, “Alkonost”, “Amadiny”, “Aminami”, “Alkon-torg”, LLC “Muine”, LLC “Ultrastarinvest”, “Higan”.
Then the businessman, “with the direct participation” of Timonkin, changed the leadership of the management bodies – the supervisory board and the board of the bank, including his proxies in their composition: the head of the supervisory board Denis Bugay, the chairman of the board (probably we are talking about Igor Frantskevich, who worked as the head of the board from October 8 to 10 December 2013). Boris Timonkin personally searched for candidates for leadership positions in the bank.
At an extraordinary meeting of shareholders on September 3, 2013, Timonkin was elected a member of the supervisory board.
According to the investigation, despite the collegiality of the bank’s board and its supervisory board, management was actually carried out by Boris Timonkin in agreement with Kurchenko with the participation of the head of the supervisory board and the chairman of the board.
The court materials contain key charges brought against Kurchenko’s team.
