US DoJ files a civil forfeiture complaint against Kolomoyskiy to seize commercial real estate in Kentucky and Texas. He must have seen this coming as he sold one Texas property in January and stopped paying taxes on the other at beginning of year. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/justice-department-accuses-ukrainian-oligarch-of-stealing-billions-from-bank-he-once-owned-and-laundering-it-in-the-us/2020/08/06/b88924b8-d7f4-11ea-aff6-220dd3a14741_story.html
Kolomoyskiy has been selling off his U.S. commercial properties, but one real estate agent in Cleveland, where the tycoon still owns three properties, said he "can't sell this shit" because no title company wants to take the risk.
Kolomoyskiy owns not only real estate in the US, but two alloy assets and one shut steel plant. So far, the FBI focus seems to be on the real estate, but all the assets were bought through the same schemes. What is interesting is that...
their U.S.-registered alloy holding carried out a reorganization in April 2019 that removed alloy assets from the holding that were located in the country of Georgia. It could be just a coincidence, but the first reports of an FBI investigation was April 2019.
Why were the Georgian alloy assets included in Kolomoyskiy's U.S. alloy company in the first place and not with his European alloy assets? Could be because he could then lobby the US government, which his alloy company did when the Georgians put pressure on the asset.
