President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Prime Minister Yulia Svyridenko on November 14. The Prime Minister reported on the launch of audit processes in state-owned companies. Zelenskyi said that during the meeting it was determined that the deadlines for inspections should be prompt, and all results should be sent to law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies for appropriate response.
Before that, against the background of NABU’s investigation into Energoatom, Svyridenko announced a “comprehensive decision” regarding all state-owned companies, including energy companies.
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, eight persons were notified of suspicion in this case. “Schemes” published a complete list. According to sources in the law enforcement agencies, this is a businessman, co-founder of the studio “Kvartal-95” Timur Mindich (code name “Carlson” on NABU tapes), ex-adviser of the Minister of Energy Ihor Myronyuk (“Rocket”), executive director of security of “Energoatom” Dmytro Basov (“Tenor”) and four more “employees” of the so-called “back office for money laundering”: among them Oleksandr Zukerman (“Sugarman”), Ihor Fursenko (“Ryoshik”), Lesya Ustymenko and Lyudmila Zorina. Later, the former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Unity Oleksiy Chernyshov was also informed about the suspicion of illegal enrichment.
One of the suspects – Oleksandr Tsukerman (“Sugarman”) called the accusations of NABU and SAP “lies” and promised to return to Ukraine. Timur Mindich did not comment on the case.
Meanwhile, the NSDC imposed sanctions on both of them.
