Kolomoyskyi’s partner Boholiubov plans to inform the West about extortion by Ukrainian authorities

Gennadiy Bogolyubov, the business partner of oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi, who left Ukraine, plans to make allegations of extortion by Ukrainian authorities.

This was reported by the news outlet “Zerkalo Nedeli,” citing sources.

According to the publication, the businessman intends to seek political asylum in London and will claim that in Ukraine, he was asked for a bribe of $100 million to prevent criminal proceedings from being initiated against him.

Sources also mentioned that together with his wife, Emine Dzhaparova, who was appointed Ukraine’s permanent representative to international organizations, Bogolyubov wanted to leave for Vienna as early as March. However, on the orders of Bankova Street (the Ukrainian Presidential Administration), he was denied a diplomatic passport, which would have granted him immunity.

On July 7, it was reported that Kolomoyskyi’s partner managed to leave the country. It was stated that Bogolyubov did not officially cross the border, implying that he either exited illegally, bypassing official checkpoints, or did so using someone else’s passport.

Today, it was revealed that the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine has opened a case against Bogolyubov, accusing him of leaving the country using another person’s document. The businessman’s press service claimed that he left Ukraine legally as a 62-year-old father of many children.
