As a result of international cooperation with the competent authorities of the French Republic, on November 9, 2026, in Paris, a mansion belonging to Ukrainian businessman Kostiantyn Zhevaho, valued at USD 40 million, was seized.
The Office of the Prosecutor General reports this.
The arrest was carried out pursuant to a request for international legal assistance sent by the Office of the Prosecutor General on September 17, 2026. Confirmation of the seizure of property was received from the French competent authorities on November 10, 2026.
The specified measure was carried out within the framework of criminal proceedings, the pre-trial investigation in which is conducted by the State Bureau of Investigations under the procedural guidance of prosecutors of the Office of the Prosecutor General.
According to the investigation, Kostiantyn Zhevaho, who controlled over 90% of the share capital of JSC "Bank "Finance and Credit", in prior conspiracy with other representatives of the bank's management, organized a scheme to embezzle 113 million US dollars.
The investigation believes that these funds were subsequently legalized through offshore structures and other companies controlled by Zhevaho.
The Prosecutor General's Office expresses sincere gratitude to its French colleagues for their professionalism, effective cooperation, and substantial assistance in the investigation of this criminal proceeding.
Recall that earlier the NBU won an appeal regarding the collection of collateral for a loan to Zhevaho's bank.
The Central Appellate Economic Court on September 2, 2026 granted the appeal of the National Bank of Ukraine and overturned the first-instance court's ruling to open proceedings in the bankruptcy case of LLC "Construction Company 'Osnova'".
