The claim by former PrivatBank owners Igor Kolomoisky and Triantal Investments about the return of the bank’s shares was resumed in court. The final decision on the case may overturn the nationalization of the institution, which cost the state 198 billion UAH.
The panel of judges of the Northern Economic Court of Appeal reversed the verdict of the Kiev Economic Court, which suspended the case, reports Zerkalo Nedeli.
Kolomoisky and its offshore company Triantal Investments Ltd demand the cancellation of the nationalization of PrivatBank and the return of its shares in the capital stock of the bank – 41.6% and 16.5%.
“The case was considered in the Economic Court of Kiev, almost concluded and was suspended until the end of the trial on the legality of the nationalization in the court of appeal. During the year this complaint was considered, but thanks to the decision of the Northern Appeal , it will soon be returned to her. Considering that the last time the consideration of the case is almost over, then one session will be enough to make a final decision “, the article explains.
PrivatBank has already reacted to the resounding court decision. The financial institution said that despite the violation of the deadlines to file an appeal by one of the accused and the “anti-Kolomoisky” law, the case was resumed.
As reported, the Kiev economic court suspended on October 16 consideration of the claim of former PrivatBank owners Igor Kolomoisky and Triantal Investments on the return of shares pending the decision on the appeal.
We will recall, the government of Ukraine on December 18, 2016, referring to the NBU proposal and the former shareholders of PrivatBank, the largest of which at that time were Kolomoisky and Gennady Bogolyubov, decided to nationalize it. The financial institution immediately poured out about 155 billion UAH, then the amount increased.
The ex-owners of the bank consider the nationalization carried out illegal, and PrivatBank and the state demand additional damages.
The international detective agency Kroll has established that PrivatBank was the target of large-scale fraudulent activities, and this caused losses to the financial institution of at least $ 5.5 billion.
PrivatBank in December 2017 filed a lawsuit in London High Court against Igor Kolomoisky, Gennady Bogolyubov, as well as against Teamtrend Ltd., Trade Point Agro Ltd., Collyer Ltd., Rossyan Investing Corp., Milbert Ventures Inc. and ZAO Ukrtransitservice Ltd., allegedly owned by them.
During the same period, the London High Court decided to seize the assets of former PrivatBank shareholders around the world. At the same time, the court ordered Kolomoisky to disclose information about all his assets to a limited number of people who are directly involved in considering the case. The corresponding decision was made on the basis of the evidence provided regarding the withdrawal of $ 2 billion from the Ukrainian bank.
