The court chose a measure of restraint for Igor Kolomoisky in the form of detention in Dnipro for two months with an alternative to a bail of more than UAH 509 million. He was also ordered to surrender all documents and not to communicate with witnesses.
The investigation found that during 2013-2020, Kolomoisky transferred more than half a billion hryvnia abroad using the infrastructure of controlled banks.
Earlier, the media reported that prosecutors would petition for the arrest of the oligarch with an alternative to bail, with an estimated damage of UAH 570 million.
Suspected of fraud and legalization of property obtained by criminal means, he does not admit his guilt. In court, the oligarch spoke out against being filmed. Therefore, the court session on choosing a preventive measure for Kolomoisky was held behind closed doors.
Recall, on September 2, employees of the SBU, BEB and the Office of the Prosecutor General handed Kolomoisky a suspicion of laundering a large amount of funds by transferring them abroad. In particular, suspicions were announced under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, namely:
-
Art. 190 – fraud;
-
Art. 209 – legalization (laundering) of property obtained by criminal means.
