Kolomoisky and his business partner Gennadiy Bogolyubov were not charged in the embezzlement case. But they are under investigation in the United States for allegedly laundering money from Ukraine to buy office buildings in the US. Yesterday, the US Embassy in Kyiv greeted news of PrivatBank charges, tweeting congratulations to prosecutors “for bold actions against former PrivatBank officials, charged with costing Ukrainian taxpayers millions. Courageous actions like these are an important step in the fight against corruption.”
