Overview
- Anti‑corruption agencies NABU and SAPO say suppliers to state nuclear operator Energoatom were forced to pay 10–15% to keep contracts, with about $100 million laundered.
- SAPO opened an internal inquiry into a suspected leak that reportedly allowed alleged organizer Timur Mindich, a longtime associate of President Zelensky, to leave Ukraine.
- Roughly 70 searches were carried out under operation Mida after a 15‑month probe, and Energoatom confirmed it was searched and is cooperating.
- Il Post reports eight suspects have been charged, five arrested, two fled the country, and one remains unaccounted for.
- The government dissolved Energoatom’s supervisory board and ordered an internal review as investigators examine possible high‑level interference.
