The Supreme Court of Ukraine overturned the execution of the decision of the Pechersk Court to recover UAH 10 billion from PrivatBank in favor of the Surkis brothers' companies.

This was reported by the press service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine approved PrivatBank's petition and stopped the execution of the decision of the Pechersky District Court of February 9, 2017 to recover $ 347 million from PrivatBank.

In December 2016, the NBU nationalized PrivatBank and recognized the Surkis family as its insiders. Then the bank's debts to them were converted into the capital of PrivatBank. Instead of money, the Surkis received shares. The NBU indicated that Igor Surkis and Igor Kolomoisky are shareholders of the 1 + 1 TV channel, which indicates insider trading.

In September 2017, it became known that the Surkis sued 42 lawsuits against the NBU. Almost all of the lawsuits concerned the appeal of the conversion of bank debts.

In March 2020, the Pechersk District Court of Kiev confirmed the obligation of Privatbank to return more than $ 200,000 to the Surkis, without waiting for the court's decision on the matter, as well as an appeal in this case..

On September 2, 2020, the Pechersk District Court satisfied the demand of six Surkis companies to recover $ 350 million from Privatbank.

In response, the Ministry of Justice prepared a bill on September 8, the Ministry of Justice appealed against the decision of the Pechersk court to recover UAH 10 billion from PrivatBank in favor of the Surkis companies. LIGABiznesInform informs about it.
