Fox News: FBI investigating Ukrainian oligarch Kolomoiskyi over alleged financial crimes

The FBI is reportedly investigating Ukrainian business tycoon Ihor Kolomoiskyi for financial crimes, including money laundering, as part of a wide-ranging probe.

Censor.NET reports citing Fox News.

Kolomoiskyi is not currently charged by the FBI with a crime.

His lawyer Mike Sullivan told The Daily Beast that "Mr. Kolomoiskyi categorically denies that he has laundered any funds into the United States, period. He's a businessperson. His bank was seized by the government, claiming the bank was on the verge of collapse. That information turned out to be false."

Kolomoiskyi, whose net worth hovers around $1.2 billion, has moved to Israel - something which could complicate any potential extradition attempts made by the US.
