This time, Moiseev mentioned the possible timeframe for selling "Lesta Games" while speaking with journalists at the Moscow Financial Forum. He did not make any definitive statements but did not rule out the possibility that the deal could be finalized in October.
A few weeks ago, Moiseev had already indicated that "Lesta Games" might be purchased by the end of this year, presumably in the fall — in September or October. It seems they may not manage to complete the transaction by the end of September.
The Deputy Finance Minister of Russia also stated that the new owner of the group of companies will be an interested investor who will pay a significant sum for the asset. Later, sources from Forbes newspaper revealed that negotiations for the purchase are being conducted by former racing driver and son of a billionaire, Nikita Mazepin, and "Lesta Games" is valued at 30-50 billion rubles in the potential deal.
"Lesta Games" has not publicly commented on the rumors.
