Overview
- Anti-corruption agencies said five suspects are detained and seven have been formally notified of suspicion after coordinated raids under Operation Midas.
- Prosecutors identified businessman Timur Mindich as the alleged organizer of the scheme, and investigators say he fled abroad shortly before searches began.
- Searches were carried out at Energoatom and at Justice Minister German Galushchenko’s residence, and the ministry said he is cooperating with investigators.
- The government dismissed Energoatom’s supervisory board and ordered an urgent audit in response to the allegations involving the state nuclear operator.
- NABU and SAPO say the case is built on 15 months of work and extensive recordings documenting kickbacks laundered through a central Kyiv office, with about $100 million tracked.
