On September 2 last year, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Bureau of Economic Security, and the Prosecutor General's Office served Kolomoisky with a notice of suspicion under Articles 190 and 209 of the Criminal Code: fraud and legalization (laundering) of property obtained by criminal means. Subsequently, Kolomoisky received two more suspicions: regarding the withdrawal of a total of 15 billion hryvnias from PrivatBank.

On November 28, the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv extended the pre-trial detention for oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky with an alternative bail of UAH 3.7 billion until January 26. Later, the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv kept Ihor Kolomoisky in custody for another two months, until April 25. In addition, the court reduced the bail amount by UAH 150 million, to UAH 2.4 billion.

At the same time, the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court closed the proceedings in the case of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) against Ihor Kolomoisky, citing the "Lozovyi amendments."

For his part, the then head of the BES, Andriy Pashchuk, noted that within the framework of the investigation into the case against Ihor Kolomoisky, detectives of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine interrogated more than 100 people, two examinations were conducted, and two more were appointed.

This is a very extensive proceeding. Within its framework, more than 100 people have been interrogated, 2 examinations have been conducted, and two more have been appointed. These are complex engineering-technical and forensic-economic examinations. The scheme being investigated by the BES is very complex, involving more than 10 business entities, including 4 commercial banks.

In his opinion, the investigation is complicated by the fact that the events being investigated in the proceedings are delayed in time, and the course of the investigation is negatively affected by a large number of manipulations, including media ones, around Kolomoisky.

In May last year, Kolomoisky was notified of suspicion - of organizing a contract killing.
