The oligarch’s lawyers asked to change it to house arrest.
But the businessman will remain in custody until December 2, and not until January 2, 2024, with an alternative bail of UAH 3 billion 712 million, “Public” reported from the courtroom.

On November 10, the Shevchenko Court in Kyiv considered the petition of Kolomoisky’s defense to change the preventive measure for the businessman due to the deterioration of his health. But then the court also refused to satisfy the petition, leaving the businessman in custody.
During his speech, Kolomoisky said that “his case would not exist if someone really didn’t want to suck it out of thin air.”
