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.
- On November 11, journalists revealed the names of all those involved in the investigation of mass corruption at Energoatom, who received suspicion from NABU. According to the “Schemes” project, Timur Mindich (who is called “Carlson” in the NABU audio recordings – ed.), ex-adviser to the Minister of Energy Ihor Myronyuk (“Rocket”), Dmytro Basov (“Tenor”), executive director of security at “Energoatom”, Oleksandr Zukermana (“Sugarman”), Ihor Fursenko (“Ryoshik”), Lesya Ustymenko and Lyudmila Zorina received suspicions.
- Five persons from the list of suspects have been detained. Two of them – Mindich and Zukerman – left Ukraine.
- Basova, Myronyuk, Fursenko, Ustymenko and Zorinii chose precautionary measures with the possibility of bail. Later, it became known that the High Anti-Corruption Court received bail for the money-laundering “back-office” workers around Energoatom, Lesya Ustymenko and Lyudmila Zorina.
- On November 12, Minister of Justice Herman Galushchenko was removed from his post after a high-profile NABU investigation into corruption at Energoatom NAEC.
- On November 13, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi put into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council to impose sanctions against the businessman, co-owner of the studio “Kvartal-95” and his associate Timur Mindich and businessman Oleksandr Zukerman.
