The ruling was partly based on OCCRP’s revelations from 2019 about her brother’s links to organized crime and her access to dirty money.

Larisa Chertok, an Israeli citizen and the sister of Ihor Kolomoisky, argued in court that she had bought her luxurious villas and apartments in Switzerland with clean money lent to her by her father and Bank Claridon Leu (now Credit Suisse).
