US criminal charges against Ihor Kolomoisky could follow last week’s civil forfeiture complaints by the US Department of Justice

US criminal charges against Ihor Kolomoisky could follow last week’s civil forfeiture complaints by the US Department of Justice, speculate Concorde Capital and the Kyiv Post. “Given that they [Kolomoisky and Gennadiy Bogolyubov] have already been accused by the U.S. Justice Department of money laundering and embezzlement (among other crimes), criminal charges are likely in the pipeline,” writes Concorde’s Zenon Zawada. “Though Kolomoisky can fight the forfeitures without being in court, criminal charges will likely require that he appear. That would lead to the U.S. seeking Kolomoisky’s extradition, since we don’t expect him to go to the U.S. on his own will.”
