New allegation against detained Ukrainian magnate Kolomoisky, official says

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said, Ukrainian business magnate Ihor Kolomoisky has been served with notice of a third set of allegations following his detention on suspicion of fraud and money laundering.
A new court hearing on the case in Kyiv on Friday also significantly raised the bail demanded from Kolomoisky, who made his first court appearance earlier this month.
News reports from the court said the judge agreed to raise the bail to be posted to the equivalent of $105 million – compared to an original amount equivalent to nearly $14 million.
Kolomoisky’s lawyers had previously said they would appeal his detention and would post no bail.
The new allegations against one of Ukraine’s richest men were first reported on Thursday by Serhiy Leshchenko, a former investigative journalist and parliamentarian who now works as an adviser in President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s office.
