Сourt extends Kolomoisky's arrest until September 2

On Thursday, the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv extended the remand of millionaire Ihor Kolomoisky until September 2, Judge Oksana Golub announced.

"To extend the term of detention of Ihor Valeriyovych Kolomoisky, to determine the term of 47 days, i.e. until September 2, 2024," she read the text of the resolution.

The amount of the bail remains unchanged at 1.97 billion hryvnias ($47.3 million).

The case against Kolomoisky is being investigated by the main unit of detectives of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine. He is accused of committing the crimes provided for in Part 3 of Art. 27 part 5 of Art. 191 (appropriation of property), Part 3 of Art. 27 part 3 of Art. 28 part 2 of Art. 200 (illegal actions with payment documents), Part 3 of Art. 27 part 3 of Art. 209 (money laundering) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The businessman is suspected of fraud and money laundering through PrivatBank. According to the Economic Security Bureau, in 2013-2014, Kolomoisky allegedly illegally took over 5.8 billion hryvnias ($141 million) from PrivatBank by fictitiously depositing cash into the cash register.

Kolomoisky rejects the accusation. According to him, it would be impossible to hide such a cash gap from the National Bank.

In May 2024, Kolomoisky was indicted with inciting the attempted murder of lawyer Serhiy Karpenko in 2003. After that, the Pecherskyi Court confined him to custody until July 7 without the right to bail.
