Detectives of the Bureau of Economic Security have completed a pre-trial investigation against oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyy. He will be tried under four articles.

This was reported by the press service of the Bureau of Economic Security.

In particular, Kolomoyskyy is going to be tried under four articles of the Criminal Code: Part 3 of Article 27, Part 5 of Article 191 (misappropriation of property), Part 3 of Article 27, Part 3 of Article 28, Part 2 of Article 200 (illegal actions with bank documents), Part 3 of Article 27, Part 3 of Article 209 (money laundering), Part 3 of Article 27, Part 3 of Article 28, Part 2 of Article 366 (forgery).

At the same time, the investigation into other members of the group organised and led by the oligarch is ongoing. 

‘We are talking about illegal actions with bank documents during the suspect's actual failure to deposit UAH 5.8 billion into the bank's cash desk, as well as the misappropriation of more than UAH 5.3 billion, which were later legalised. 

Part of the money unjustifiably credited to the oligarch's personal accounts was formed at the expense of loans from a controlled bank. In particular, it is more than UAH 2 billion,’ the BES press service wrote.

The BES added that detectives also proved that the businessman organised the seizure of more than UAH 3.3 billion from Ukrnafta and participants in joint investment agreements. 

In particular, during the pre-trial investigation, it was established that the suspect organised the misappropriation of the company's funds by entering into fictitious contracts for work that was not actually performed. 

The suspect subsequently legalised the over UAH 4 billion he had obtained illegally.
