Yuriy Kolobov (Ukrainian: Юрій Володимирович Колобов (born 8 April 1973 in Pavlohrad, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast,[2] Ukraine (at that time part of the Soviet Union) is a former Minister of Finance of Ukraine.[2]
Biography
Kolobov graduated from Dnipro State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture and the University of Kharkiv.[2]
He has worked as a director of treasury for the State Savings Bank of Ukraine (OshchadBank) until June 2008.[2] From June to December 2008 Kolobov was chairman of the board for the BTA Bank.[2] He also worked as a counselor on banking issues for the Finance Company Kibrit. In 2010 Kolobov was a leading executive for the State Export-Import Bank of Ukraine (UkrExImBank).[2]
From December 29, 2010 he was appointed the first deputy of the chairman of the National Bank of Ukraine.[2][3]
On February 28, 2012 (by decree of President Viktor Yanukovych) he was appointed Minister of Finance.[2]
On 25 September 2014 Ukraine opened a criminal probe into Kolobov; he is accused of illegally transferring a $450,000 fee to Russia’s state-run VTB Capital as a kickback for the 17 December 2013 Ukrainian–Russian action plan.[4] Five days later a criminal probe into Kolobov was opened for embezzling Ukrtelekom.[5]
Since 3 July 2014 Kolobov is in the international wanted list for abuse of power.[6][7][8]
Russian prosecutors refuse to extradite Kolobov to Ukraine and (according to Ukraine falsely) state that they have not received such a request from Ukraine.[8]
According to the interior ministry of Ukraine, Kolobov was arrested on 4. March 2015 in a flat located in the luxury development "Altea Hills"[9] near the Spanish town of Valencia.[10]
