Former owners of PrivatBank Ihor Kolomoyskyi and Henadiy Boholyubov suffered a final defeat in a multi-billion-pound court case in the United Kingdom. The Supreme Court refused to allow them to appeal the ruling under which the businessmen must pay the bank more than 3 billion dollars.
This is reported by PrivatBank.
The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom rejected the last attempt by Kolomoyskyi and Boholyubov to obtain a review of the English court’s decision. From now on, the decision to recover more than 3 billion dollars in favor of PrivatBank may be self-executed.
The court case concerns fraudulent acts by the former owners of the financial institution. In July 2025 year, the High Court of England found that Kolomoyskyi and Boholyubov committed fraud against PrivatBank, and ruled to compensate for the damages caused.
However, the businessmen did not agree with the court’s conclusions and tried to appeal them. During the appellate review, they claimed that they allegedly returned illegally appropriated funds to the bank.
22 May 2026 year, the Court of Appeal of England dismissed the appeals of both former owners. After this, Kolomoyskyi and Boholyubov attempted to obtain permission for further appeal to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, but that attempt also ended in failure.
The final decision marks the end of the appeals procedure in British courts. The former owners are obliged to pay PrivatBank more than 3 billion dollars, including compensation for losses, interest, and legal costs.
PrivatBank emphasized that after the Supreme Court’s refusal, the July 2025 year decision has entered a status of enforceable judgment. This opens the bank’s ability to seek recovery of funds from the former owners in any jurisdiction.
