Jewish Chronicle A court has found that Andrey Adamovsky, vice president of the World
Jewish Congress, defrauded former business partners to the tune of $34.7
million (£22.3m).
A civil court judge handed down the verdict last October, but Mr
Adamovsky, who was found to have illicitly deprived two co-owners of his
Oledo Petroleum company of their 45 per cent share of its sale, has not
yet paid them back. [...]
Mr Kenney, a Canadian lawyer who specialises in prosecuting
large-scale fraudsters, said it was “unconscionable” that a proven thief
could still represent the WJC.
He said: “It’s shocking to me that a reputable organisation like the WJC would make such an appointment.”
A WJC representative said: "Mr. Adamovsky is a member of the WJC Executive by virtue of having been being elected co-chairman of the Vaad of Ukraine, which under the WJC Constitution automatically makes him an ex-officio member of the WJC Executive Committee. Mr Adamovsky’s civil litigation over a
commercial dispute is totally unrelated to the World Jewish Congress or
the Jewish community of Ukraine. It began and ended well before he
became a member of the WJC Executive Committee in March 2015.[...]
