Against the backdrop 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. Among the participants in the case are the co-founder of the studio “Kvartal-95” Timur Mindich (code name “Carlson” on NABU tapes), ex-advisor to 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 legalization of funds”: among them Oleksandr Zukerman (“Sugarman”), Ihor Fursenko (“Ryoshik”), Lesya Ustymenko and Lyudmila Zorina.
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. The NSDC imposed sanctions on both of them.
