For four years, it has been hunting season in Ukraine. The hunter is the National Bank of Ukraine. And the countrys failing, undercapitalized, and often corrupt banks are the big game.

Ukraine agreed to clean up its corrupt banking sector in 2014 as one of the conditions for International Monetary Fund loans. Since then, it has declared more than 90 banks insolvent and confiscated their assets.

The state Deposit Guarantee Fund, which received the assets, paid out Hr 90 billion ($3.4 billion) to the banks depositors, a direct loss of state funds. But rampant bank fraud an…

TOKYO — Japanese lawmakers on Friday night enacted controversial legislation legalizing gambling resorts, a move nearly two decades in the making.

The bill was expected to be passed earlier in the day, but the opposition camp threw up one last procedural roadblock: It introduced a no-confidence motion against the cabinet of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the lower house.

The bill had long been held up by concerns over gambling addiction. Several polls conducted by media organizations in the past month or so say a majority of the public did not want the bill passed during the current Diet session. In a Nikkei poll at the end of June, 53% of the respondents were of this opinion.

The no-confidence motion proved to be the final delay for a law t…

Martin Baker was the sole director of C.J.M Tiling Limited (CJMT), which was incorporated in 2007 and traded as a construction company in Cradley Heath, West Midlands.

On 3 December 2015 and 4 March 2016, HMRC made unannounced visits to CJMT and identified the construction company had under-declared its VAT liabilities by failing to disclose all its sales.

Furthermore, an additional bank account was identified in which sales income was deposited. HMRC raised an officers assessment for additional VAT liabilities of £205,262 for the period June 2012 to December 2015, as well as applying civil penalties of £90,146 to the company.

CJMT later entered liquidation on 26 January 2017 owing £469,673 to creditors, including at least £34…

A standover attack in which a man allegedly threatened to shoot off another man’s leg has been dismissed as the “fantasy” of a “crook” in a Canberra court.

Javarne Saipani, 25, is on trial in the ACT Supreme Court accused of showing the alleged victim a gun and threatening to “take off his leg” if he did not come up with money to pay off a large drug debt.

The court heard the threat was made as part of a convoluted situation, where a childhood friend of Mr Saipani had asked for his help, because he needed to pay up to his Sydney connections in a drug dealing business.

It was claimed Mr Saipani was asked to act as a standover man to extract money from the…

Sumo Salad’s battle with landlords takes its toll, administrators in charge.

The battle with retail landlords has taken its toll on the Sumo Salad group which has been placed in the hands of voluntary administrators for the second time in a little over a year.

Morgan Kelly and Peter Gothard, of Ferrier Hodgson, have been given control over 85 stores in the healthy-alternative fast-food group.

The reasons for the move are understood to stem from legacy debts, but many analysts are also pointing to poor retail trading conditions and high rents impacting the viability of similar businesses.

The latest development comes on the heels of Sumo Salad co-founder and CEO Luke Baylis placing two Sumo Salad subsidiaries into volu…
