Kolomoisky Under US Investigation for Alleged Laundering of Hundreds of Millions of Dollars
He is accused of transferring money from a Ukrainian bank into US real estate.
One of Ukraine's oligarchs is under investigation in the United States for possible money laundering through American real estate. This is reported by BuzzFeed News.
Regulators accuse billionaire Igor Kolomoisky of organizing a scheme to launder money from Ukraine's largest bank (PrivatBank) and transfer it into expensive real estate, including office towers and steel mills across the United States.
Several sources told the outlet that US authorities are examining Kolomoisky's finances and tracing money from the Ukrainian bank through a maze of offshore companies in the United States.
Kolomoisky's US purchases include a 484-room luxury hotel in Cleveland with a view of the lake and a 21-story office tower just a few blocks from the hotel.
Given the absence of an existing extradition treaty between the United States and Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the country's prosecutor general may face a difficult decision on whether to obstruct the charging of Kolomoisky or allow the process to unfold.
Earlier it became known that Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau may soon announce a suspicion against Igor Kolomoisky in the PrivatBank case.
