Kolomoisky was not brought to court for the third time in the PrivatBank case. The SBU explains that an assassination attempt is being prepared for him. Now, as it turned out, the guards are also in danger.
Who prepared the assassination attempt and where this information came from was not explained to the court. But they suggested holding meetings via video link or behind closed doors.
At the same time, everyone demands Kolomoisky's personal presence: the court, the prosecutor, the lawyers. (Here, from everyone's position, we will clearly see whose side they are on.).
He himself also requests in writing to be delivered to every meeting. Only the SBU, in charge of both the detention center and the convoy, is opposed. The prosecutor and the defense were unanimous here: the detention center's explanations were "unspecific and unfounded."
The reasons for not moving Kolomoisky vary. In one day at the beginning of November, three versions were released. Initially, he allegedly wanted to speak via video link. And then - the threat of a missile strike, although there was no air strike warning. Then they announced that in connection with a possible attempt on Kolomoisky's life, there was a danger to the employees of the pre-trial detention center.
The car used to break down. There was already an "attempt" in January. However, the SBU and the police later responded to inquiries that they found no signs of his preparation.
All this concern about security started after Kolomoisky's speeches in court.
He said the real exchange rate is 150 hryvnias to the dollar, called the negotiations with Russia "Balchaka" and reminded the judge that "Zelensky is not eternal." The video was watched by almost two million people.
It seems these scouts have become the main threat. In pre-trial detention, Kolomoisky cannot speak to reporters. In court - maybe. They were not brought to court - no statements, no videos, no millions of views.
The next meeting is scheduled for November 18. Let's see what they will "protect" him from this time.
