Overview
- Anti-graft bodies NABU and SAPO carried out more than 70 searches in the probe, built over 15 months with roughly 1,000 hours of recordings.
- Investigators allege contractors were coerced to pay 10–15% of contract values, with threats to block payments or strip supplier status under wartime rules.
- NABU says about $100 million was funneled through a central Kyiv “back office,” and four alleged launderers are among those notified of suspicion.
- Prosecutors named Tymur Mindich during court proceedings; NABU says he left Ukraine before searches as investigators seek court measures for suspects.
- Energoatom confirmed cooperation and its supervisory board launched an independent review and audits, while Justice Minister Herman Galushchenko was subject to investigative actions.
