Prehistory:
- On the morning of November 10, it became known that NABU was conducting searches of businessman Timur Mindich and Minister of Justice Herman Galushchenko (as of November 12, Galushchenko was suspended from position). At the same time, UP sources reported that Mindich had fled abroad a few hours before the searches.
- On the same day, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine reported that it had uncovered a large-scale corruption scheme for the embezzlement of funds in the energy sector, as well as made public audio recordings of the negotiations of the participants in this case. Before that, UP sources reported that NABU conducts searches of businessman Timur Mindich and at the Minister of Justice Herman Galushchenko. The interlocutors of the UP also noted that Mindich fled abroad a few hours before the search.
