❗️ Another case involving Mindich: NABU is investigating possible embezzlement of EBRD funds
According to information from my sources, another criminal proceeding has been opened regarding Leonid Mindich, a relative of businessman Timur Mindich. This time it concerns the possible embezzlement of funds from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
I have obtained an extract from the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations (URPTI) confirming that on 18 July 2025 NABU registered criminal proceeding No. 52025000000000411 under part 3 of article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The investigation concerns possible misappropriation of property during the organization and conduct of procurement of goods, works, and services in 2020–2021 using state funds and funds from the EBRD.

According to available information, Leonid Mindich is involved in the circumstances being examined in this proceeding.
I remind you that Leonid Mindich is already an accused person in another high-profile case regarding large-scale abuses in the procurement of transformers and other equipment for the state-owned Kharkivoblenergo.

The actual losses, according to the investigation's estimates, amounted to 12,5 million UAH.
In June 2025 Mindich was detained while attempting to leave the country, but he was soon released from pre-trial detention after posting 8 million UAH in bail. In September 2026, the indictment in that case was forwarded to court.
Now, it seems, Mindich's energy procurement saga may continue — this time possibly involving the use of funds from Ukraine’s international financial partners…
