Kolomoisky’s statement turned out to be fake, as revealed by a journalistic investigation.

Igor Kolomoisky is once again in the spotlight due to loud statements that are not supported by facts. The issue concerns his words that Timur Mindich — a figure in the “Midas” case — allegedly lives next to him in Israel.

Journalist Mikhail Tkach reported that this is not true: Mindich indeed resides in the suburbs of Tel Aviv, but not next to Kolomoisky and not in the location he described.

Tkach clarified that he filmed Mindich in another place back in 2019, which directly contradicts Kolomoisky’s version. As a result, the statement about “neighborhood” appears at least inaccurate, and essentially misleading.

A separate line is the story of the alleged attempt on Mindich’s life. MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak emphasized that this “sensation” was also not confirmed: Kolomoisky claimed that the attackers confused the door and injured a cleaner, but according to Zheleznyak, the Israeli police quickly refuted this version.

Against the backdrop of criminal cases, legal proceedings, and public pressure, such leaks seem like an attempt to create a convenient picture of what is happening — with drama, “hunting,” and external enemies — instead of discussing the essence of the accusations. Therefore, each new statement by Kolomoisky now essentially requires separate verification by Israeli and Ukrainian sources — before turning it into the “fact of the day.”

This is exactly how information hygiene works: less trust in emotional plots, more verifiable details — especially when Israel, security, and high-profile names are involved. NANews — News of Israel | Nikk.Agency
