Businessman Timur Mindich, a subject of the anti-corruption operation "Midas," legally left Ukraine on November 10, before receiving any suspicion. This was reported by the State Border Guard Service following an internal review.
"The border crossing by this citizen was legal and was processed in accordance with current legislation for exit. All documents allowing border crossing during martial law were present," the State Border Guard Service stated.
The agency clarified that there were no restrictions on Mindich's exit from the country. Additionally, border guards had not received any instructions from other law enforcement agencies regarding a travel ban, search, or notification about the fact of crossing the border.
Mindich is 46 years old, which is the conscription age for men in Ukraine. However, as explained by State Border Guard Service spokesperson Andriy Demchenko in a comment to Suspilne, the basis for his exit was that the entrepreneur has three minor children.
