The head of SAP Oleksandr Klymenko stated at one of the conferences that “Ali Baba holds meetings and assigns tasks to law enforcement agencies so that they pursue and continue to pursue NABU detectives and SAP prosecutors. This is not a normal story.”
This happened the same week that the Mindich tapes were released.
According to UP sources in anti-corruption bodies, “Ali Baba” is not Andriy Yermak’s call sign on the “Mindic tapes”.
Detectives and prosecutors themselves use this nickname for the conspiracy of the head of the OP in internal communications. So, on the political sidelines, talking about Andrii Borysovich Yermak, they use abbreviations based on the first letters of his name and patronymic – AB.
At the end of the first week of the Midas operation, according to interlocutors close to the OP, President Volodymyr Zelensky called the heads of NABU and SAP to a meeting.
However, “the conversation did not take place,” emphasizes an influential official familiar with the course of that meeting.
Immediately after trying to talk, according to the interlocutors in the law enforcement agencies, Yermak once again tasked the security forces to prepare a suspect for the head of the SAP Oleksandr Klymenko.
Formerly “Ukrainian Pravda” wrotethat key representatives of the authorities close to President Volodymyr Zelensky, after the high-profile investigation by NABU “Midas”, advise him to fire the head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak.
