UNIAN, Oleksandr SynytsiaThe Podilskyi District Court of Kyiv extended the pretrial detention of businessman Ihor Kolomoisky, while an unclear situation has developed around providing him with medical care.
As UNIAN’s correspondent reports, during the hearing, in particular, the motion to extend the period of the preventive measure in the form of pretrial detention with the alternative of bail in relation to Kolomoisky was considered.
During the hearing, the defense emphasized that there is no point in extending this period because a preventive measure is already in effect against Kolomoisky in another case until mid-September.
In addition, the lawyers stressed that the Shevchenkivskyi District Court had authorized Kolomoisky to receive treatment in a private clinic. However, they say, the head of the Department for Ensuring Pretrial Investigation of the Security Service of Ukraine refused to convoy him there.
"Kolomoisky has never been denied access to a medical facility in three years," stressed attorney Vyacheslav Kraglewich and emphasized that the businessman has previously been delivered to that medical facility 12 times.
Kolomoisky’s defense emphasized that he has a number of illnesses, yet he is not being provided the right to adequate treatment, so all of this is a violation of human rights.
In this connection, Kraglewich noted that Kolomoisky’s preventive measure should be changed to a personal recognizance.
Lawyers' comment
After the hearing, attorney Oleh Pushkar told journalists that the period of pretrial detention was extended by 60 days.
In addition, attorney Oleksandr Lysak noted that regarding the provision of medical care to Kolomoisky the court "obliged the head of the Department to conduct an examination and, if necessary, provide assistance." "But where should this examination be carried out?.. A person has the right to receive the medical care they choose," Lysak emphasized.
The Kolomoisky case: news
As UNIAN reported, on 2 September 2023 he was handed a suspicion of fraud and legalization of assets obtained by criminal means and was arrested. On 15 September of the same year he was notified of suspicion of appropriating 5,8 billion hryvnias from PrivatBank.
The investigation then stated that in 2013-2014 years the businessman illegally appropriated that sum by means of fictitious cash deposits to the cash register.
In January 2026 the Kolomoisky side appealed the decision of the High Court of London in the lawsuit by JSC CB "PrivatBank" for recovery of damages in case No. BL-2017-000665. The appeal was accepted and the execution of the first-instance court’s decision was stayed.
