Detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine searched the headquarters of ICU investment bank on Friday as part of an investigation into the Rotterdam + formula for pricing coal. ICU posted on its website that it had earlier complied with all requests for information and denounced the search as “an attempt to exert pressure on it, which has an obvious political context.” The bank is seen as affiliated to former President Poroshenko. Valeria Gontareva was chairwoman of ICU until June 2014, when she became governor of the National Bank of Ukraine, a post she held for three years.
