According to him, the ex-owner of the Dnieper is not related to the new club
Honorary President Dnepr-1 Yuri Bereza stated that the arrest of the former president of Dnipro Igor Kolomoisky will not affect the future of the team.
“Igor Valeryevich has one fate, and Dnepr-1 has another. He arrived at the court in a tracksuit of BC Dnipro and FC Dnipro. SC Dnepr-1 was not there.
I’ve been listening to these rumors for five years. Let Igor Valeryevich deal with his problems, he has a very strong legal team, and we will do our own thing.
I’ll tell you one story. I turned to Igor Kolomoisky with a request to help the Dnepr-1 battalion. Unfortunately it didn’t help. After that, I stopped calling him on the phone, ”said Bereza.
Recall, the Shevchenkovsky District Court of Kiev chose a preventive measure in the form of detention for 60 days (until October 31 inclusive) for a Ukrainian businessman and former president of Dnipro, Igor Kolomoisky, with the possibility of making a bail in the amount of more than 509 million hryvnias.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine (BEB) handed Kolomoisky a suspicion under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: Art. 190 (fraud) and Art. 209 (legalization (laundering) of property obtained by criminal means).
Kolomoisky has been closely associated with Ukrainian football and basketball for many years. For a long time he was the owner of the football Dnipro, which, due to multimillion-dollar debts, was deprived of his professional status in 2018.
Kolomoisky also claimed that he was not involved in the management of Dnepr-1 and was not interested in returning to football activities.
