Today, September 2, oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky was charged with several articles of the Criminal Code.
The SBU and the Prosecutor General’s Office reported this on Telegram.
«Under the procedural guidance of the Office of the Prosecutor General, the SBU and BEB employees informed a well-known oligarch about the suspicion of legalization of property obtained fraudulently (Articles 190, 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)“, the Prosecutor General’s Office writes.
Investigators claim that Kolomoiskyi illegally took over 570 million hryvnias in cash and later legalized it.
The SBU adds that Kolomoisky embezzled funds during 2013-2020 by taking them abroad, while using the infrastructure of controlled banking institutions.
Urgent investigative and procedural actions are currently ongoing. The suspect was served with a request for preventive measure.
We will remind you that back in February, the Security Service searched the home of oligarch Ihor Kolomoiskyi. They took place as part of the investigation of fraud in “Ukrtatnafta” and “Ukrnafta”. The top management of these two companies was informed of the suspicion.
In April of this year, Kolomoisky entered the updated ranking of Forbes billionaires as a citizen of Israel. The mass media wrote that he could have lost his Ukrainian citizenship earlier. At that time, it was reported that the presidential decree concerning the possible deprivation of citizenship of Kolomoisky could not be published on the official website of the OPU.
