Igor Kolomoisky and Privat bank group ($5.5B FRAUD)
Bio:
==Igor Kolomoisky is one of Ukraine's richest men, with assets in banking,
ore mining, steel, energy, ferro alloys, hydrocarbons and media -
including the powerful Private Group, which holds assets in Russia,
Romania, Poland and the United States. ==

Group complained one of its companies had been unfairly excluded from
the privatization of locomotive manufacturer Luhanskteplovoz in
spring. Dniproavia, which Kolomoisky controls, announced in December
it was interested in buying the state's 61.58 percent stake in Ukraine
International Airlines. But he's likely to miss out again.
Privatization chief Oleksandr Ryabchenko said no auction will be held
as, according to the airline's charter, minority shareholders are
allowed to bid first, and therefore could snap the carrier up for just
over $30 million.
