Ukrainian authorities have informed oligarch Igor Kolomoysky, whose backing is thought to have helped Vladimir Zelensky secure the country’s presidency, that he is suspected of fraud and real estate laundering.
In a statement on Saturday, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said that the billionaire – whom it described as the “de facto owner of a large financial and industrial group” – had legalized more than 500 million Ukrainian hryvnia ($13.5 million) by “transferring it abroad, while using the infrastructure of banking institutions controlled by him.”
