Ukraine has launched a fresh wave of high-profile anti-corruption raids, including the security services searching the home of one of the country’s most prominent billionaires, Ihor Kolomoisky.
The SBU security service said it had uncovered the embezzlement of more than $1bn (£880bn) at Ukraine’s biggest oil company, Ukrnafta, and its biggest refiner, Ukrtatnafta. Mr Kolomoisky, who has long denied wrongdoing and was not mentioned in the SBU statement, once held stakes in both firms, which Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky ordered seized by the state in November under martial law. Mr Kolomoisky is a former political ally of Mr Zelensky.
