Biography
With fellow Ukrainian billionaire Henadiy Boholyubov, Ihor Kolomoyskyy founded PrivatBank in the early 1990s.
He served as the governor of his native Dnipro region from March 2014 until March 2015, when he was fired by then-president Petro Poroshenko.
In 2016, Ukraine's government nationalized PrivatBank, after an investigation suggested large-scale fraud over a period of ten years.
In Dec 2017, the High Court of London ordered a freeze on some $2.5 billion worth of assets held by Kolomoyskyy and Boholyubov.
Kolomoyskyy was sanctioned by the U.S. State Department in March 2021 for corruption under his watch at the Dnipro region.
Early ally of President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose "Servant of the People" TV show once ran on Kolomoyskyy's TV network, Kolomoyskyy has reportedly had his Ukrainian citizenship stripped.
