In October 2016, the National Bank of Ukraine provided access to the documents and items of evidence required to investigate criminal offences committed in the banking sector on 13 occasions.

As a side note, in March 2015, the Ukrainian parliament passed a law On Amendments to Certain Legal Acts of Ukraine on the Responsibility of Bank`s Related Parties which imposed criminal responsibility on the bank managers and owners for actions that led to the bank`s insolvency, thereby causing material damage to the State or a creditor.
