KYIV, Sept 3 – The Pechersky District Court of Kyiv ruled in favor of the offshore companies of the Surkis brothers on executing the 2017 court ruling ordering the state-owned PrivatBank to service their deposits, the debt for which the plaintiffs estimate at $350 million, Law Adviser to PrivatBank Andriy Pozhydayev said Wednesday.

The development may complicate relationship between Ukraine and the International Monetary Fund, which suspects that the case may lead to massive corruption and returning the bank to previous owner, Ihor Kolomoyskiy. The Surkis brothers are Kolomoyskiy’s alies.
