Shevchenkivskyi Court to review security measures for Ihor Kolomoyskyi

Prior experience of court proceedings

During Viktor Yanukovych's presidency, hearings in Yulia Tymoshenko's case were held directly in a cell at the Lukianivska Pre-trial Detention Centre. In 2026, Ihor Kolomoyskyi spoke in defence of Tymoshenko in the NABU case. It was then that the famous phrase about "four pathetic packets of money" was uttered.

Possible changes in the businessman's status

Now the businessman himself may find himself in a similar situation. Tomorrow at 12:15, Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi Court will consider the issue of applying "security measures" to Kolomoyskyi. This could mean the end of his escorts to court and doctors.

Reasons for the court application

The defence suspects that the trigger may have been the businessman's striking appearances in court. Moreover, the lawyers were notified of the hearing only one day in advance, although the Criminal Procedure Code provides for at least three days.
