On June 30, 2023 the Global Investigations Review ran a story, “Financial crime risk high on shady Ukrainian ski resort project.” The article quotes Bruce Searby, who has been enlisted by the Swiss environmental group, the Bruno Manser Fund, to raise awareness among U.S. agencies and politicians regarding potential financial crime risks associated with the contentious Svydovets ski resort project in Ukraine. The project is allegedly tied to Ukrainian oligarchs Igor Kolomoyskyi and Gennadiy Bogolyubov, who have been by a US Justice Department investigation into claims of international money laundering. Searby advises that potential investors should be vigilant with funds from companies linked to alleged international money laundering schemes. He also flagged environmental dangers, stressing the need for investors to ensure they aren't promoting corrupt acts or profiting from any prior corrupt acts related to the project.
