Kolomoisky accused Zelensky of anti-Semitism

The oligarch complained that court hearings seem to deliberately fall on Jewish holidays

Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, during a court hearing at which a change in his preventive measure was considered at the request of his lawyers, said that his case was purely political. Because if it were otherwise, then investigative actions would be taken with him, but there are no actions. They detained and are not investigating anything. In addition, he accuses the authorities of deliberately mocking him as a Jew.

According to him, he has already been in the pre-trial detention center for 30 days, and no interrogations or confrontations are being conducted. Therefore, there is no point in keeping him locked up; investigators do not need him. Kolomoisky said that he even asked the investigators to conduct confrontations with witnesses, “so that they would not later say that I was threatening someone.”

By the way, the court still does not know for sure whether Kolomoisky has Ukrainian citizenship. It is known that in July last year the oligarch’s passport was revoked and it was stated that this was done by order of President Zelensky, who included Kolomoisky on a list of 10 people deprived of citizenship. However, at a meeting on October 2, the court recognized the odious businessman as a citizen of the country, since he was born in Dnepropetrovsk and ran his own business in the country.

Kolomoisky himself could not answer the question about his citizenship. That is, he knows for sure that he has citizenship of Cyprus and Israel, but he doesn’t know what’s going on with Ukrainian. It seems that he was deprived of citizenship, but no one officially notified him about this, and he still has his passport in his hands…

The conflict is that if Kolomoisky is not a citizen of Ukraine, then he must be tried as a foreign subject. That is, at a minimum, representatives of the Israeli and Cypriot embassies must be present at court hearings.

If the citizenship of an oligarch is a murky matter, then he once again deliberately reminded the court about his nationality. According to him, knowing that he was a Jew, he was specifically tried on Yom Kippur (Judgment Day). The last meeting was held on this date. And Kolomoisky was detained on the Jewish New Year – Rosh Hashanah. Naturally, without Zelensky’s sanction, the oligarch’s detention would have been impossible, so the claim, in fact, was presented specifically to the President of Ukraine.

Kolomoisky does not consider this anything other than mockery on religious grounds. Well, he is not the only one in Ukraine who is being bullied for religious reasons, as is known.

So it is still unknown who will judge whom during the trial in the Kolomoisky case: the Office of the Presidential oligarch – for fraud, or the oligarch the entire Ukrainian government – for manifestation of Nazism…

However, all this had no effect on the court: Kolomoisky was left in custody with the possibility of posting bail in the amount of more than 4.3 billion hryvnia (11.7 billion rubles). At the end of the meeting, the oligarch said that he was “very pleased with the court’s decision.”
