Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) has announced that it has raised a new suspicion of Privatbank’s former beneficial owner, Igor Kolomoisky, over the misappropriation of more than 9.2 million hryvnia ($247,000) funds from a credit institution. This was reported on the NABU Telegram channel.
According to the investigation, in January-March 2015 Kolomoisky developed a plan to seize Privatbank’s funds in order to further finance the controlled offshore company and increase its own stake in the credit institution’s authorized capital.
“To do this, the bank was ordered to artificially pay more than 9.2 billion hryvnia to the specified controlled company, on the pretext of allegedly repurchasing its own bonds at an inflated value,” the publication says.
Before that, Kolomoisky’s lawyer, Oleksandr Lysak declarationHe said that the appeal against his client’s arrest, which was supposed to be heard on September 6, was postponed to September 25.
The Ukrainian investigation accused Kolomoisky of legalizing illegally acquired property. On September 2, the Kiev Shevchenkovsky Court arrested the entrepreneur for 60 days with the possibility of paying bail in the amount of 509 million hryvnia (more than 1.3 billion Russian rubles), but Kolomoisky refused to pay a bail of multi million.
