Tigipko's daughter became a defendant in a criminal investigation in Britain
Scotland Yard is investigating the kidnapping and removal from the UK of two granddaughters of Ukrainian businessman and former Deputy Prime Minister Serhiy Tihipko. They are British citizens because their mother, Anna Tihipko, violated an agreement with her ex-husband not to leave London, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
BBC Ukraine reports this.
“The judge ruled that banker and industrialist Sergei Tigipko helped his daughter Anna ignore the decision of the High Court of London and stay in Kyiv,” the publication indicated.
The High Court in London ruled in April 2018 that Anna Tigipko must return to London, where the father of her children, who also has British citizenship, lives so that he can see them. His name is not mentioned.
In turn, Anna Tigipko insists that everything she did after divorcing her husband in 2015 “was for the well-being of her children and no one else,” the publication reported.
The names of Sergei and Anna Tigipko are allowed to be publicly announced after a judge’s decision, which is exclusive for such cases. The court found the children had been "harmed" by being separated from their father, while the publicity could force their mother and grandfather to return them to London, the report said.
Anna Tigipko met her ex-husband in 2010. They married in 2012 and settled in North London, and the couple had two daughters. At the end of 2015, Anna Tigipko’s husband announced the divorce, after which she remained in London - she founded a clinic there and purchased a house.
In 2017, Anna Tigipko got married again in Ukraine. In November of the year before last, the woman left London and went with her children to Kyiv. Thus, she violated the agreement with the father of her children. She then sold her property in the UK capital and abandoned her business there.
