Separately, in London on Monday, an English judge ordered Kolomoisky and his business partner Gennadiy Bogolyubov to pay PrivatBank £1 million in addition to an existing court-ordered payment of £11 million. Two weeks ago, in Kyiv, the Court of Appeal rejected a lower court ruling in Kolomoisky’s defamation suit against Anders Aslund, the Swedish-American economist. Lawyers for Asters successfully argued the Aslund’s statements about Kolomoisky’s involvement in the $5.5 billion bankruptcy of PrivatBank were an exercise of protected free speech.
