Overview
- Ruslan Magamedrasulov, a NABU detective held since July, said Timur Mindich served as a top manager rather than the primary beneficiary and implied higher‑level political patrons.
- Magamedrasulov worked on documenting Mindich and financier Oleksandr Tsukerman, who appear on NABU’s tapes under the nicknames “Karlson” and “Shugarman.”
- NABU’s released audio features numerous aliases, and lawmaker Yaroslav Zheleznyak says about 40 nicknames remain unidentified.
- The Economist reported that some diverted Energoatom funds may have been transferred to Moscow, a claim made without publicly disclosed evidence.
- The probe has produced charges for seven suspects, sanctions on Mindich and Tsukerman, and steps against ministers following raids at Energoatom and officials’ offices.
