Businessman Ihor Kolomoiskyi was served with the suspicion of organizing the contract killing of a lawyer for failure to comply with the requirements for the annulment and invalidation of the decisions of the general meeting of shareholders of an open joint-stock company.

This was announced by the Prosecutor General's Office, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

Under the procedural guidance of the Prosecutor General's Office, a well-known businessman, suspected of legalizing property obtained fraudulently, was served with the suspicion of committing another crime related to the organization of a contract killing (Part 4 of Article 27, Part 2 of Article 15, Clauses 11, 12, Part 2 of Article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

According to the investigation, Kolomoiskyi, acting out of personal revenge, ordered the murder of the director of one of the legal companies for failure to comply with the requirements to annul and invalidate the decisions of the general meeting of shareholders of the open joint-stock company.

To realize his criminal intentions, he involved members of a gang that "specialized" in committing serious and especially serious crimes, including physical violence against competitors.

Members of the gang attacked the director of one of the legal companies, hitting him and stabbing him in vital organs.

At the same time, this crime was not brought to an end for reasons that did not depend on the will of the gang members.

Currently, prosecutors and investigators are carrying out urgent investigative and procedural actions aimed at exposing all persons involved in the commission of the crime.

The suspected businessman is in custody.

The pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceedings continues and is carried out by the investigators of the Main Investigation Directorate of the National Police of Ukraine under the operational support of the Department of Criminal Investigation of the National Police of Ukraine in cooperation with the SSU.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Kolomoiskyi's arrest was extended, but the bail was reduced by half a billion.
