Conflict around Sky Mall
In 2010, Adamovskiy invested $40 million in Sky Mall shopping center, receiving 50% plus 1 share. The terms of the agreement with the Estonian businessman Hillar Teder, who started building a shopping center in 2006, stipulated that the share of Adamovskiy could be sold back for $50 million. However, Adamovskiy refused to sell his share to Teder, believing that Teder had violated the terms of the agreement.
In 2011, a London court confirmed the validity of Adamovskiy's actions and ordered a businessman to transfer a shareholder debt of about $100 million under the overall control of Adamovskiy and Teder. Estonian has not fulfilled the decision of the court.
In 2015, the Ukrainian courts including the Supreme Court established that Teder had no right to claim.
In May 2016, the London Court of International Arbitration decided to transfer all shares of Assofit Holdings Limited to the ownership of "Arricano Real Estate plc" no later than June 5 of the same year.
According to former head of the State Ecological Inspectorate of Ukraine Yegor Firsov and journalist Serhiy Ivanov, Hillar Teder tried to buy publications from well-known bloggers in order to spread inaccurate information about Adamovskiy and the situation with Sky Mall.
