“This is dirty money.” Sergey criticized the Kvartal 95 studio’s concerts.

Ukrainian showman, freelance adviser to Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga, and founder of the “Cultural Landing” group, Mykola Serga, criticized the activities of the Kvartal 95 studio, co-founded by Ukrainian businessman Timur Mindich, a defendant in the “Midas” case.

Sergey expressed his opinion in an interview published on December 10 on Ukrainian blogger Marichka Dovbenko’s YouTube channel.

“How do you feel about the cancellation of Kvartal?” Dovbenko asked Sergi.

“I think what’s happening is right. Look, this is corruption. This is dirty money. And that’s one of the reasons. The second reason is that I don’t share the pleasure of participating in such entertainment shows during a war,” he said.

According to Sergi, the activities of the Kvartal 95 studio are highly distracting and undermine the sense of reality.

“When it comes to inspiring, positive content, we need fairy tales first and foremost, because fairy tales have morals, fairy tales have conclusions, fairy tales have a rational balance between good and evil. I think all these corrupt figures, the ‘mindiches,’ and others wouldn’t be interested in funding fairy tales,” he says, referring to fairy tales.

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.
