Former co-owner of PrivatBank Bogolyubov hid another asset from the London court

As previously reported, the High Court of London has strengthened the worldwide freezing order of the assets of the former owners of Ukraine's state-owned PrivatBank, Ihor Kolomoyskyi and Gennadiy Bogoluybov. In addition, the court has also imposed a spending limit on the defendants, restricting them to £20,000 per week.

The freezing order requires the defendants to disclose information about their ownership of assets in any country. Sources confirm that Mr. Bogoluybov did not provide the High Court of London with comprehensive information about his assets, failing to disclose the Ukrainian company LLC BPK PRIVAT-INVESTOR (code 20234786), of which he is the beneficiary owner.

In fact, Bogoluybov divested his share in the company in 2019, but continues to own a stake in the LLC through other co-owning companies where he is a co-founder. Thus, the oligarch owns 20% of LLC VIST LTD, 19.6% of LLC SENTOSA LTD, and 19.6% of LLC SOLM LTD – all of which are currently co-founders of the LLC BPK PRIVAT-INVESTOR, hidden from the London court.

It is worth noting that misleading the English court (providing false testimony) is a serious crime in the United Kingdom and can be punished by up to 7 years in prison.
