Igor Kolomoisky tells Novoe Vremya that he was misunderstood

Igor Kolomoisky tells Novoe Vremya that he was misunderstood when he told an earlier interview that he could bring his arch nemesis, Valeriya Gontareva, back to Kyiv from London “by private order” to answer a prosecutor’s questions about the 2016 nationalization of his bank, PrivatBank. “It was taken out of context,” he says. Instead, he meant to communicate that he could send his private jet to pick her up in London. Referring to the former governor of Ukraine’s central bank, he asked: “Why should I kidnap her? Why? To marry her secretly?”
