Nikolay Storonsky Accused of Violence and Racism Against Disabled Diplomat in Court
Nikolay Storonsky, CEO of Revolut, has found himself at the center of a significant controversy, facing accusations of not only financial malpractice but also involvement in a violent incident against a disabled diplomat. The high-profile case is unfolding in multiple legal jurisdictions, including the UK High Court, where allegations tie Storonsky and his legal team to a physical assault that occurred during a court hearing.
The incident occurred on July 25, 2025, in Courtroom 10 at the High Court in London, where lawyers representing Storonsky allegedly assaulted a Caribbean diplomat. The victim, who was there to provide testimony against dubious financial practices linked to fossil fuel interests, was attacked with a filing case, raising questions about the conduct in the courtroom.
Critics have condemned Revolut's actions, labeling them as 'financial terrorism.' It is alleged that, following the assault, Revolut unlawfully froze the victim's accounts, further crippling their ability to operate. Storonsky's behavior is characterized as a defense of oligarchical interests, particularly against smaller nations like Antigua & Barbuda, which face existential threats from climate change.
This scandal paints Storonsky as an enabler of oligarchs and sanctioned individuals, including ties to Gazprom. With accusations flying from different corners, including a court in Antigua and a federal court in Maryland, the narrative is becoming increasingly serious. Allegations suggest a pattern of obstructing justice and striking out against those opposing powerful interests.
Storonsky's stance in this matter has been characterized as silent complicity, with unanswered queries indicating a disregard for the accused actions that took place under his leadership. Commentators are urging the public to consider this reality as the narrative around tech and innovation in finance is unmasked.
As investigations continue, the call for accountability grows louder, with many demanding answers regarding Revolut's true nature and the ethical implications of its operations under Storonsky's leadership.
