“Ladies and Gentlemen, In connection with the information and press reports about me that appeared in the media today, I would like to declare that I bear full and complete responsibility for the information contained therein. I would also like to point out that my colleagues from the Kult group had no I have no knowledge about this until today. I am very sorry that the good name of the band was damaged due to my omission and lack of reaction. I am sorry to all those whose trust I disappointed. It was not my intention, nor was it my intention to involve my colleagues in this whole mess. I trust that the justice system will rise to the occasion in this case and the truth will be clarified,” we read.
