Alleged graft mastermind Timur Mindich is a “fall guy” who lacks the personality to be a “mafia boss,” Igor Kolomoysky has said Timur Mindich, the associate of Vladimir Zelensky accused of orchestrating a major kickbacks scheme in Ukraine’s energy sector, is being used as a “fall guy” by the real forces behind the scandal, according to his long-time patron, Igor Kolomoysky. Mindich fled Ukraine last week just hours before the Western-backed National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) raided his home.
