“Too stingy to spend money” on protective structures for the energy sector: NABU and SAP have completed the investigation of the large-scale corruption case “Midas”
Anticorruption agencies have opened the case materials for review in the investigation of a criminal organization operating in the energy sector, which was led by businessman and close friend of President Zelensky, Tymur Mindich.
Also included in the group were:
▪️ businessman Oleksandr Tsukerman;
▪️ former Vice Prime Minister Oleksii Chernyshov;
▪️ former Minister of Energy Herman Halushchenko;
▪️ Halushchenko’s adviser Ihor Mironyuk;
▪️ Executive Director for Physical Protection and Security of Energoatom Dmytro Basov;
▪️ back-office employees Ihor Fursenko, Lesia Ustymenko, Liudmyla Zorina.
Recall that, according to the investigation, members of the criminal organization built large-scale corruption schemes under which they demanded 10–15% kickbacks on contracts from Energoatom’s and the Ministry of Energy’s counterparties.
The total amount of illicit gains received exceeds 111 million dollars and nearly 12 million euros.
The legalization of the illegally obtained funds was carried out by a separate “back office” of the criminal organization, which was located in the apartment of traitor Derkach.
During searches, a “black ledger” was seized to confirm the organization’s money-laundering activities, as well as dossiers on NABU detectives and investigative journalists.
Also, a number of other proceedings were separated from the materials of this case. In particular, regarding the legalization of dirty money for the construction of “Dynasty” and others.
❗️How can one not recall the suspects’ conversations about building protective structures for the energy sector, for which in July 2025 they said “too stingy to spend money, a waste.”
Evidently, such protection would be very appropriate now.
