On November 10, NABU announced the disclosure of the activities of a criminal organization, the main focus of which was “systematic obtaining of illegal benefits from Energoatom’s counterparties in the amount of 10% to 15% of the value of contracts.”
In this case, suspicion was reported to eight persons. “Schemes” published the names of seven suspects. According to sources in the law enforcement agencies, among them are businessman, co-founder of the studio “Kvartal-95” Timur Mindich (code name “Carlson” on NABU tapes), former adviser to the Minister of Energy Ihor Myronyuk (“Rocket”), one of the “employees” of the so-called “back office for legalization of funds” Oleksandr Zukerman (“Sugarman”) and others.
On December 1, the court chose a preventive measure in the form of detention for Mindich in absentia. During this court session, the prosecutor stated that the investigation considers Mindich to be the head of a group that received and laundered money from corruption schemes in the energy sector.
