The Department of Justice (DOJ) has asked a federal court in Florida to allow forfeiture of two properties owned by associates of Ukrainian oligarchs Ihor Kolomoisky and Gennadiy Boholiubov worth a combined $70 million. The DOJ alleges the properties were purchased with money stolen from a Ukrainian bank the oligarchs used to own.

Kolomoisky and Boholiubov denied stealing the money.
