Overview
- Anti-corruption agencies said a 15‑month investigation uncovered a high‑level network that skimmed Energoatom contracts and laundered up to $100 million.
- Investigators described commissions of about 10–15% on procurement deals funneled through a Kyiv office used to legalize illicit proceeds.
- Prosecutors implicated Timur Mindich, a former Kvartal 95 partner of President Zelensky, and NABU said he left Ukraine shortly before the raids.
- NABU identified a figure known as “Carlson” as a leader who directed money flows from an apartment on Hrushevskogo Street and pressed ministries on the group’s behalf.
- The government announced the dismissal of former energy minister German Galushchenko from his justice post after accusations he received personal benefits in the scheme, as Russian drone strikes further strained the power grid and fueled public anger and EU scrutiny.
