31 July 13:23
Businessman Konstantin Kruglov stated that the information circulated by a number of media outlets and Telegram channels regarding his alleged detention in Limassol, his ownership of real estate in Cyprus, his alleged assistance in circumventing sanctions, and his simultaneous contacts with Ukrainian and Russian political figures. This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to “Ukrainian News.”
Konstantin Kruglov also noted that behind the smear campaign against him are people (whose identities are well known) who want not only to discredit him with fabricated stories but also to reap certain benefits.
“I have never created or controlled any ‘money-laundering centers’ or ‘cash-out’ operations in Dnipro, Kyiv, or any other city. I have not given money to tax or law enforcement officials, purchased ‘political cover,’ or paid bribes to halt audits or criminal proceedings,” he stated.

Separately, the businessman called the allegations regarding his involvement in circumventing international sanctions false.
“Claims regarding my involvement or that of companies associated with me in circumventing international sanctions are equally unfounded. I did not organize or finance operations of the so-called Russian shadow fleet, did not manage ships or transport infrastructure used to circumvent sanctions, and did not participate in the illegal trade of oil or petroleum products for the benefit of Russia, Iran, or Venezuela. All of this is a fabrication,” he noted.
“And I would like to thank the media for giving me the opportunity to express my position,” Kruglov added.
