For this purpose, Commerzbank used the Ukrainian bank "Forum" first bought it in 2007, and after laundering through the bank until 2012 more than 1 billion dollars state aid from Germany sold it to Mr. Novinsky, which not only has helped cover up larceny of Commerzbank, but he himself has stolen 0.5 billion dollars already at the Ukrainian people and in 2015 closed it (bank "Forum") with impunity.
This scam was carried out as follows:
1. Commerzbank AG (the second largest bank in Germany) September 17, 2007 signed an agreement to purchase 60% + 1 share of the bank "Forum" for $ 600 million and received the right to an option to purchase an additional package of the bank "Forum" up to 25% of the share capital during the next 36 months.

6. Since March 2010 Commerzbank owns 94.52% shares of the bank "Forum", completely controls management and all financial flows to steal money of German taxpayers from fund the state aid to the banking sector «SofFin».
7. Within five years (2008-2012) were introduced into the bank about $ 1 billion, but at the same time fantastically all indicators worsening and leading the bank into bankruptcy.

9. In order to concealment of crimes in 2012, the bank "Forum" has been sold for a symbolic price (no more than $ 60 million with many years of installment plan payment of this meager payment) and from 30.09.2012 "Smart Holding" became the owner of 98.68% of the share capital of the bank "Forum" through the Cyprus company Yernamio Consulting Ltd.

Only August 19, 2013, he posted on its website information about the financial statements prepared based on the Bank's financial statements for 2012 under IFRS and the report of the auditing company PriceWaterhouseCoopers. The document more like that in the formal reply and contains no decodings. Promulgated reports 22th in Ukraine by assets of the bank "Forum" for the year 2012 has gone in on eight pages. For comparison: annual Report 21st Ukrainian Bank "Finance Initiative" contains 214 pages, the 23th "IMEXBANK" - 205 pages . According to the instructions on compilation and publication of financial statements, approved by the Ruling of National Bank of Ukraine№373 from October 24, 2011, аll banks must prepare it according to IFRS and publish no later than 30 April year following the reporting.

15. Pay for such financial scam the Ukrainian people and the taxpayers of the EU and the US, from the budgets of which are directed 3 bln. dollars for help Ukraine, which then goes not to the needs of the state, but for covering scams, implemented by Commerzbank AG, Novinsky in collusion with the ex- head of the National Bank of Ukraine Gontareva .
Moreover, V.Novinsky using the complete unfulfillment anti-corruption policy of Europe and its sanctions, as in a mockery of US and the EU, by means of falsification obliges Ukraine through court to pay $ 18 million for banquets Putin in the Kremlin, that officially confirms the Prosecutor General office of Ukraine and the Government of Ukraine, but both have refused to oppose to such scam, apparently calculating that for her, in any case will have to pay taxpayers of US and the EU.
