The SBU has detained the director of a major bank for continuously funding the Russian army.

The Security Service has detained a high-ranking official in Kyiv who is involved in financing the Russian war against Ukraine. According to the case materials, he turned out to be the director of the Department of Information Systems Support at one of Ukraine's largest banks, it is reported on the official Telegram channel of the SBU.

According to media sources, this concerns Sense Bank (formerly Alfa-Bank), and the suspect is Maksym Rezniichenko.

The investigation established that the suspect regularly transferred his money for the needs of the Russian occupation groups.

To facilitate this, shortly after the start of the full-scale war, the banker opened an account at one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world.

Subsequently, through this platform, the individual transferred funds to the digital wallets of Russians. Currently, law enforcement is determining the exact amounts of his "donations."

It is noted that the banker received information about fundraising for the occupiers through thematic Telegram channels.

SBU employees detained him at his residence in Kyiv.

During the search, a Russian passport, Russian rubles, mobile phones, and a computer containing evidence of crimes were found.

Currently, the SBU has notified the official of the suspicion under part 1 of Article 111-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (aiding the aggressor state).

The perpetrator is in custody without the right to bail. He faces up to 12 years in prison with asset confiscation.
