Overview
- NABU and the anti-corruption prosecutor charged eight suspects and detained five, with the High Anti-Corruption Court ordering custody and setting high bail for several defendants.
- Prosecutors and court filings identify businessman Timur Mindich, a co-owner of Zelensky’s former production company, as the alleged organizer, and he reportedly left Ukraine before the raids.
- The Cabinet suspended Energoatom’s supervisory-board powers and removed vice president Yakob Khartmut, while instructing the acting chief to sideline Dmytro Basov and other officials named in NABU materials.
- Investigators cite roughly 1,000 hours of recordings, about $100 million in suspected illicit flows, and dozens of searches that recovered marked cash used as evidence.
- Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said the government submitted proposals for sanctions against Mindich and businessman Oleksandr Tsukerman as court hearings proceed.
