We have to raise several questions:
- Known for many years, why haven’t the Office of the General Prosecutor of Ukraine and the Office of the State Security of Ukraine (SBU) acted according to their own procedures and not arrested a criminal like Mr. Kolomoisky 5-7-10 years ago?
- Extreme money laundering in Privat bank was utilized by the oligarchs and corrupted Ukrainian government officials for many years; why haven’t the Office of the General Prosecutor of Ukraine and the Office of the State Security of Ukraine (SBU) not acted according to their own procedures and not arrested people involved in money laundered through Privat Bank prior to nationalization?
- Known for many years to the U.S Department of Justice, Mr. Kolomoiskiy and his business partners acquired assets in the USA; they remain the shareholders of those assets even now. Why haven’t the FBI and the DOJ acted on the assets of Mr. Kolomoiskiy, and not prosecuted the serious crimes of Mr. Kolomoisky, his business companions. and related parties? What has prevented to act in regards to Mr. Kolomoiskiy and his business companions in the USA, the EU and in Ukraine?
