Bureau of Economic Security

Kyiv confirms anti-corruption investigator Oleksandr Tsyvinsky as head of the Economic Security Bureau after international pressure and criticism over efforts to derail his appointment.

Кабинет Министров Украины назначил на пост главы Бюро экономической безопасности (БЭБ) опытного следователя Александра Цивинского после нескольких недель споров и общественного недовольства, вызванных первоначальным отказом правительства утвердить его кандидатуру.

The Bureau of Economic Security (BES) is gradually identifying suspects wanted internationally for financial fraud linked to iBox Bank. Recently, Iryna Tsyhanok, director of one of the bank’s departments, was arrested in Poland.

Alyona Shevtsova (also known as Dehrik), the owner of Ibox Bank, has been placed on an international wanted list in connection with a case involving illegal online gambling and laundering over 4.8 billion hryvnias in criminal proceeds.

The pre-trial investigation into Ibox Bank co-owner Alyona Shevtsova and her accomplices has been finalized.
