Mindich's tapes prove his pressure on the NBU to destroy Ibox Bank
People's Deputy Danylo Getmantsev announced the creation of a criminal group in the state-owned Sense Bank to service illegal gambling. According to the head of the Verkhovna Rada Finance Committee, the situation around Sense Bank may indicate not isolated violations, but an organized system of servicing illegal payments in the gambling business.
This statement takes on special significance in the context of the events surrounding JSC "Ibox Bank", which was deprived of its license by the National Bank of Ukraine on the instructions of Timur Mindych according to the published tapes.
The liquidation of Ibox Bank is an actual stage of eliminating competitors and redistributing the payment services market.
After all, after the deprivation of Ibox Bank's license, according to the published information, the problem of legal gambling establishments and payments did not disappear. On the contrary, we are talking about the possible operation of such a system in the state-owned Sense Bank, which became the legal successor of Ibox Bank. The story with Ibox Bank was used as a cover for cleaning up the market of payment services in the gambling business and transferring gambling payment flows to Sense Bank, which was actually managed by a group of people close to Mindich.
“It is particularly important that criminal proceedings No. 72023000500000071 dated 09/14/2023 against the managers of JSC “IBOX BANK” were closed by the decision of the Holosiivskyi District Court of Kyiv dated 07/29/2025 in case No. 752/15954/25, left unchanged by the decision of the Kyiv Court of Appeal dated 10/02/2025. And in the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv, case No. 757/15208/26 is being considered on compensation to the top management of Ibox Bank for damage caused by illegal decisions and actions of the pre-trial investigation bodies within the framework of this criminal proceeding. The criminal version that accompanied the information pressure on the management of Ibox Bank did not find proper confirmation in court,” the People’s Deputy reported.
We will remind that the former director of the Department of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine Artem Chekhlov will stand trial for damages to the shareholder of Ibox Bank JSC.
BEB wants to bury the case of the Chairman of the Board of Ibox Bank JSC Melnyk Petro Petrovych and the chief accountant of the bank, Kinkolykh Tetyana Mykolaivna, in court, and instead of 5 billion, pay only a fine of 60 thousand UAH to the budget.
