advantage of the confusion, senior managers finuchrezhdeny try to catch the troubled waters own benefit. The conflict of shareholders of one of the largest in the country Prominvest almost put him to the brink of bankruptcy. A similar fate may be to comprehend, and yet another bank - the Ukrainian daughter Kazakhstan's BTA Bank, the passion around which is already heated to the limit

BTA went into the break

question of ownership of Ukrainian BTA Bank could be fatal not only for the finuchrezhdeniya, but also its customers. A month ago the bank was in the middle of a public scandal, which threatens the development of panic among depositors, the rapid outflow of deposits, and ultimately - bankruptcy of the bank from which a noise, all assets will be withdrawn.

In mid-June, the Ukrainian leadership of BTA Bank announced reyderskoy attack attempt on the part of Kazakh shareholders. This was allegedly made during a meeting of shareholders the bank, which was to be June 15, but according to the press service of the bank, never took place. Curiously, the meeting failed due to the fault of the initiators of the attack - the representatives of investment and industrial group Eurasia (structure, controlled by the ex-chairman of the Board of Directors of BTA Bank (Kazakhstan) Mukhtar Аблязову).

Details of the attack have not been announced. It remains a mystery, and the fact of how the representatives of the Kazakh bank appeared to shareholders, had violated the law. In part, been able to clarify the situation only a statement of management of Ukrainian finuchrezhdeniya, published a week later. According to Acting Chairman of the BTA Bank (Ukraine) Natalia Sergeeva, a dispute broke out because of a 39.99% stake in Ukrainian finuchrezhdeniya, previously owned by BTA Bank (Kazakhstan), and from which he allegedly refused earlier this year.

For

Pushcha ostrastki conflict, it was decided to make a nationwide scale. Unfolded attack on Ukrainian BTA Bank may reverse the efforts of the National Bank of Ukraine, government and other authorities, aimed at the stabilization of the banking system of Ukraine, - said Natalia Sergeeva. In order to finally distance itself from the problematic shareholder Ukrainian BTA Bank declared intention to conduct a re-branding, re-organized into the ATM Bank.

Otpetye con

At the same time, the current minority shareholder of Ukrainian BTA Bank - the same bank in Kazakhstan (in its now less than 10% of shares) - declares that he belonged to a 40% stake tion was simply stolen. Provernut fraud with reinforced property rights was not so difficult, given the situation in Kazakhstan finuchrezhdenii the beginning of the year. 2 Feb., 2009 BTA Bank (Kazakhstan) was nationalized in the critical financial condition, and a flagrant violation of a number of banking regulations. Kazakh State Fund Samruk-Kazyna bought 78.14% stake in the bank, infusing a 251.3 billion tenge (about $ 2.09 billion), which were sent to the bank's liabilities to depositors and creditors.

main culprits destroying the country's largest financial institution of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Kazakhstan called the ex-chairman of the Board of Directors Аблязова Mukhtar and his deputy Zhaksylyk Zharimbetova. They were accused of embezzling funds and bank holding risky operations. Note that the prosecutor's office confirms the findings of the audit conducted by Ernst Young. Former leaders finuchrezhdeniya have largely issuance of borrowings affiliated entities, under the pledge of cheap or even non-existent assets and to take risks on a bank of non-compliance related to their firms.

This action Аблязова created a real threat to the stability of the bank, and if not adopted by a timely action, it is for his criminal activities could lead to default in the largest bank in the country, - the statement of the Prosecutor General of Kazakhstan.

and ex-chairman of the Board of Directors, and his deputy is now declared in interstate tracing. But before I disappear, swindlers made a successful attempt to select a Kazakh BTA lion's share of the shares of Ukrainian daughter. 28 February 2009, former Vice-Mukhtar Аблязова Zhaksylyk Zharimbetov, exceeding the powers given to him by proxy, and not having received the approval of the Board of Directors of JSC BTA Bank (Kazakhstan), terminated the deal on the acquisition of this stake (39.99%. - Ed ).. As a result of this package of JSC BTA Bank (Ukraine) was written off in a securities account OOO Leyklend Investment, Ltd. The momentum of Capital Investment, LLC GoldFayn Import Investment and DroboTreyd Investment , - says In an official statement, the Kazakh BTA Bank. Representatives done brown side do not exclude that the current high-profile statements by management of the Ukrainian finuchrezhdeniya on mythical reyderskoy attack - only a smokescreen to cover up fraud by placing the assets of the Ukrainian BTA, which risks being vypotroshennym the same as its parent structure Kazakhstan.

now Ukrainian bank by all means trying to disassociate from the old masters. Mr. Ablyazov is not a shareholder of the Ukrainian BTA Bank, the beneficiary and, accordingly, a person who controls the bank, - underlines Natalia Sergeeva. Such statements would be quite convincing, if not the one but - the current management of BTA Bank (Ukraine), stood at the helm finuchrezhdeniya even while staying at their posts in the parent structure Mukhtar Аблязова and Zhaksylyk Zharimbetova. And because of its objectivity is well-founded doubts. This is impeded by suspicions that the true purpose of Natalia Sergeeva is escalating panic among depositors of JSC BTA Bank (Ukraine), to cover operations for the theft of its assets, - believed in the JSC BTA Bank.

projected to observers, if events turn for the Kazakh scenario, clients rely on the successful finalists will not have to. In contrast to the Kazakh government, fleeing the country's largest bank, the Ukrainian authorities are unlikely to care to the plight of not very large financial institution in the country (on 1 January 2009 JSC BTA Bank is among a group of medium-sized banks, and was 18 th in size capital and 45-s - in terms of assets). Rather, the return of their money depositors will be able to have a very neskoro - said one of the bankers.
