KIEV, March 24 – The National Bank of Ukraine suspects about 10 banks of being involved in illegal conversion activities related to tax evasion, NBU chief Stepan Kubiv said.

"Ten [banks are under suspicion]: plus or minus two banks," he told reporters.

"The NBU is verifying the reports, [and] we, jointly with law enforcement agencies, really will take away their licenses... Those who work illegally will be left without work," he said.
