Kurginyan: Monaco is a major mafia hub in Europe

17.07.2026, Moscow.

Monaco is a major mafia hub in Europe, and if “explosions” occur there, it signals a redistribution of spheres of influence, philosopher, political scientist, and the leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan stated on July 10 during the Conversation with a Sage program on the Zvezda radio channel.

The Principality of Monaco is ruled by the Grimaldi family, which “acts as a key strategic intermediary in relations between European clans and the mafia, the political scientist noted. Therefore, according to him, there should not be explosions there, and if they do occur, it is no accident.

I might be exaggeratin a little, but Monaco is Europe’s main mafia hub – respectable, quiet, and calm as it may be. Yet, it is a nerve center for the criminalization of Europe. And when explosive devises start exploding in this hub, at the very center, amidst this idyllic setting, it suggests that [quoting Hamlet] ‘something is rotten in the state of Denmark’,” the leader of the Essence of Time movement clarified.

Sergey Kurginyan drew attention to the extent of mafia infiltration in Europe. He explained that there are connections between the governing Masonic lodges and the warring mafia clans that maintain relationships with those lodges. According to the political scientist, Europe is home to transnational and other non-state entities that also sort things out with one another.

“Monaco is a quiet bay that controls the other, turbulent waters, that harbor has absolutely no desire to see bombing of Yermolayevs within its own borders. Usually, such things are not permitted. The fact that it has been allowed now indicates that a major redistribution of spheres of influence is underway. And, generally speaking, it seems to me that some of the world’s power brokers have already shifted their focus away from the war in Ukraine itself and toward the redistribution of spheres of influence and assets in a post-war Ukraine,” Kurginyan explained.

At the same time, this does not imply an imminent end to the war; rather, it indicates that there are certain efforts being directed toward the long term solutions, he noted. Kurginyan also emphasized that there are no major criminal figures in Ukraine who are not linked to foreign entities such as BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Vanguard, and the like.

“There are no notorious criminal and oligarch figures there. Instead, there are individuals encouraged to manage affairs on behalf of others. And, they are well aware that the moment they attempt to oppose their masters, something bad will happen to them,” the political analyst said.
