Overview
- NACP chief Viktor Pavlushchyk said no routine audit could have uncovered the so‑called shlagbaum around Energoatom and stressed the agency’s prevention-focused remit rather than procurement or classified-spending reviews.
- Pavlushchyk said NACP is examining non-public data for possible staff mentions tied to NABU’s Midas case, its internal control unit has not confirmed public claims, and he rejected allegations involving deputy Mykola Korneliuk.
- He outlined plans to create dedicated units for procurement and energy-sector risks in the forthcoming anti‑corruption strategy and to push corporate governance fixes.
- Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko said the SBU registered the case against NABU detective Ruslan Magamedrasulov and his father, asserted the evidence justified suspicions, and emphasized that easing custody does not equal exoneration or a change of investigative body.
- Kyiv’s appeals court freed Magamedrasulov from custody after months of detention, as the broader Midas probe alleges a 10–15% kickback “tollgate” on Energoatom suppliers and names suspects including Timur Mindich, Ihor Mironyuk, and Dmytro Basov, with a reported $20,000 payment to NACP referenced on tapes.
