The court arrested the ex-owner of the Dnieper Kolomoisky for two months with the possibility of bail

Shevchenko district court of Kyiv elected Ukrainian businessman and former president of Dnipro Igor Kolomoisky a preventive measure in the form of detention for 60 days (until October 31 inclusive) with the possibility of making a bail in the amount of more than 509 million hryvnia.

Also, Kolomoisky must hand over all documents and not communicate with witnesses. You can appeal the decision within five days.

Today, 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).

The investigation found that during 2013-2020, Igor Kolomoisky legalized more than half a billion hryvnias. The businessman withdrew money abroad, using the infrastructure of controlled banking institutions. The Office of the President clarifies that this is an amount of more than 570 million hryvnia.

Recall that in February, a search was conducted in the house of Igor Kolomoisky. It was reported that the searches were related to the investigation of the frauds of Ukrtatnafta and Ukrnafta, namely in the case of embezzlement of oil products worth 40 billion hryvnias and evasion of customs payments for large sums.

Recall that Igor 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.
