Between 2013 and 2020, Kolomoisky put more than half a billion hryvnia (12.5 million euros) in black money into circulation, the Ukrainian domestic secret service SBU said on Saturday in the short message service Telegram. Kolomoisky, one of the richest people in the country, might not immediately be reached for comment.
The SBU released images of investigators standing in front of Kolomoisky’s house. You can see the suspect accepting documents. At the beginning of the year, security authorities searched the 60-year-old’s apartment as part of investigations into embezzlement and tax evasion in two oil companies. Kolomoisky held shares in both companies. The US sanctioned Kolomoisky in 2021 for money laundering.
In addition to a number of assets in the energy, banking and other sectors, the entrepreneur also owned one of the most influential television channels in Ukraine. There Selenskyj made a career in a comedy show and became known throughout the country. Later, Kolomoisky supported Zelenskjy’s election campaign. The current president has declared that he has no personal ties with Kolomoisky.
Zelenskyy has made the fight once morest corruption one of the priorities of his government. This is also important because of Ukraine’s desire to join the European Union. The EU requires effective anti-corruption measures as a criterion for accepting new members.
