Businessman Timur Mindich, suspected of corruption in the energy sector and subject to sanctions, has stated that he has no intention of returning to Ukraine. He calls the investigation against him manipulative.
This is reported in the report by “Ukrainska Pravda”.
Journalist Mykhailo Tkach, who tracked down Mindich in Israel and spoke with him, reported that the conversation revealed the businessman’s reluctance to return to Ukraine and testify.
“To summarize, Mr. Mindich is not ready to return; he will remain in Israel, as will the other defendant in this case. Having Israeli citizenship is very convenient,” Tkach noted.
During a conversation with a journalist, Mindich also stated that he considers the accusations against him to be manipulation.
As a reminder, the NABU and SAP are conducting a large-scale operation, “Operation Midas,” to expose corruption in the energy sector . According to investigators, the activities of a high-level criminal organization controlling financial flows and personnel decisions in state energy structures have been established.
Journalists from “Schemes” have identified the names of individuals who were notified of suspicion by NABU detectives as part of an investigation into corruption in the energy sector. Timur Mindich is among those involved.
Earlier, Zelenskyy imposed National Security and Defense Council sanctions against Kvartal-95 co-owner Timur Mindich and businessman Alexander Tsukerman , who are linked to a corruption case in the energy sector.
As noted, the State Border Service conducted an internal investigation and found that businessman Timur Mindich left Ukraine legally .
Incidentally, a puzzling situation has arisen regarding the case of businessmen Timur Mindich and Alexander Tsukerman’s departure abroad: the State Tax Service of Ukraine (GNU) refused to participate in the meeting of the Temporary Investigative Commission , which was supposed to investigate the incident.
