Businessman Igor Kolomoiskymay have lost Ukrainian citizenship.
The publication notes that the businessman’s passport is marked as invalid in the register of the State Migration Service.
The interlocutor of the publication, who takes part in the courts on the side of Privatbank against Kolomoisky, writes that yesterday his passport was marked as valid.
At the same time, the businessman’s lawyer said that he did not know anything about the decision to deprive Kolomoisky of citizenship.
The passport of Kolomoisky’s partner is also invalid in the register. Gennady Bogolyubov.
Recall that earlier they took away the passport and did not let the businessman and the head of the Dnipro defense headquarters into Ukraine Gennady Korbanwhen he returned from a trip.
Before that, screenshots of a document surfaced on the network, according to which, by his secret decree, Vladimir Zelensky deprived Igor Kolomoisky, Gennady Korban and other well-known persons with dual citizenship from citizenship.
Strana.Ua, 07/21/2022, “A photo of a draft decree on the deprivation of citizenship of Kolomoisky, Rabinovich and Korban was published on the network”: People’s Deputy from Batkivshchyna Sergei Vlasenko published a photo of the currently discussed (but not officially confirmed) secret presidential decree on the deprivation of citizenship of the oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, his partner Bogolyubov, people’s deputy Vadim Rabinovich and the head of the Dnieper defense headquarters Gennady Korban.
In the document published by Vlasenko, there are only 10 names: Al-Salyamat, Vasilkovsky, Eremin, Kol, Kolomoisky, Korban, Lim, Rabinovich, Rogovenko, Khuduev. Moreover, Bogolyubov is not among them. The number of the decree is 502. It should be noted that decrees 502-503 are missing on the president’s website, after decree 501 comes immediately decree number 504. And just July 18th. But there is no signature on the decree. Its existence has not been officially confirmed. Meanwhile, a Strana source close to the president confirmed that the document published by Sergei Vlasenko contains a real list of the names of people who are going to be deprived of Ukrainian citizenship.
Earlier, Strana, citing a source close to the president, wrote that the decree on the deprivation of citizenship of a number of Ukrainians who have passports of other countries was indeed prepared, but it is not known whether it was signed. “These decrees exist, there were such intentions, but whether they have already been signed or not – while the intrigue remains,” the Strana source said. Moreover, according to the “Strana”, the decrees on the deprivation of citizenship were prepared at the end of last week. As Strana wrote, the reason why all these people are going to be deprived of their citizenship is that they have several passports of other countries. — Inset K.ru
Earlier, the telegram channel “Politician of the Country” wrote that for Kolomoisky, the loss of Ukrainian citizenship does not fundamentally change anything in his life. Unless there is an opportunity to avoid being included in the list of oligarchs and his dependence on Zelensky becomes even stronger, since, having lost his citizenship, Kolomoisky also loses immunity from extradition to other countries upon an extradition request.
Strana.Ua, 07/22/2022, “Korban’s Ukrainian passport was taken away. Why and what does this mean?”: “Therefore, apparently, Kolomoisky in this case is an auxiliary goal for Zelensky and for PR (to show how the president acts tough even with close oligarchs). The main goal is Korban, who is thus effectively deprived of the opportunity to continue his activities in the Dnipropetrovsk region .
Many motives have already been discussed, why Bankovaya decided to hit Korban. One of the most popular versions is that Zelensky suspects that it was Korban and Mayor Filatov, who was close to him, who prompted US Congresswoman Victoria Spartz to make a statement against Yermak (they themselves deny it). — Inset K.ru
“Ukrainska Pravda”, 03.10.2014, “Kolomoisky admitted to triple citizenship”: The oligarch and the head of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Igor Kolomoisky, admitted that he has 2 more foreign citizenships in addition to Ukrainian. This is stated in the plot of the program “Schemes”. The governor explained why, in his opinion, this is not a violation – for “the law prohibits dual citizenship, but triple citizenship is not.” Kolomoisky confirmed that in addition to Ukrainian, he also has Israeli passports and Cyprus.
As is known, Article 9 of the Law of Ukraine “On Local State Administrations” says that in case of revealing the fact of dual citizenship, the powers of the chairmen of local state administrations are terminated by the president. — Inset K.ru
The Bell, 01.01.2019, “Puppet of Kolomoisky”: the story of the Ukrainian oligarch who supported Zelensky”: “For me, Zelensky is not a person, but a kind of symbol. A symbol of the change of generations, how winter ends and spring comes, ”- Kolomoisky himself said in a recent interview with the BBC. Current president Petro Poroshenko more than once directly called his main rival in the elections Kolomoisky’s man. And he has reasons to say so.
• Zelensky’s studio Kvartal 95 has been broadcasting on Kolomoisky’s 1+1 channel since 2012. The series “Servant of the People: The Story of the Future President” with Zelensky in the title role is also released there. Thanks to him, 1+1 became the leader of prime time in Ukraine.
• Zelensky’s statement that he is going to the presidential elections was shown on 1+1 on December 31, 2018 around midnight, right before the President’s New Year’s address. The fact that Poroshenko had to move on the air, TV channel explained the fight against the New Year’s address as a “soviet rudiment”.
• According to Ukrainian media, last year Kolomoisky owed Zelensky’s company $4 million for production.
• Both Zelensky and Kolomoisky say they have an exclusively business relationship.
• Evidence of Kolomoisky’s financing of Zelensky through offshore companies a month ago introduced Deputy of the “Poroshenko Bloc” Vladimir Ariev. According to him, Kvartal 95 employees received $41 million from funds illegally withdrawn by Kolomoisky from Privatbank. True, this happened long before the presidential election campaign. — Inset K.ru
His media and PR resources first created the image of people’s president Vasily Goloborodkoand then brought cinema to life. The lead actor Vladimir Zelensky, without any political experience, defeated his opponents and won a record 73% of the vote in the presidential elections.
At first, the relationship between the oligarch and the head of state resembled the “honeymoon” of the newlyweds. The businessman began to win court cases in the Privatbank case. Thus, the District Administrative Court of Kyiv recognized the nationalization of a credit institution as illegal. The Kyiv Court of Appeal did not allow the sale of the arrested assets of Kolomoisky. […] The tycoon himself, in a conversation with reporters, emphasized close contact with the president. “We correspond on WhatsApp: giggles and hakhanki, we joke,” he said. […]
The candy-bouquet period ended by mid-autumn. Strengthening Kolomoisky alerted the Western partners of Ukraine. Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudolf Giuliani called the head of Privat a criminal oligarch. According to some reports, a warrant for the arrest of a businessman has been issued in the United States. The IMF spoke out against the connections between the President of Ukraine and the businessman. They refused to provide financial assistance to the country due to fears that the investigation into withdrawal of money from Privatbank will not be completed. — Inset K.ru
