The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine 19 published in August a fragment of intercepted conversations of the alleged defendants in a special operation to expose a criminal organization operating under the direction of a current and former members of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, with the participation of high-ranking officials of the Office of the President of Ukraine and other individuals.
In the footage from NABU, it is indicated that the operation aims at the elimination of multi-level corruption. The operation was named “Forrest Gump.”
The participants in the dialogue, apparently, discuss the transfer of money. In context, there is a mention of the OPU.
“We have ‘Saving Private Ryan,’ right? But only a fool, damn it, can record the theft of money and payment for their education for his own children,” says one of the alleged defendants.
“And I ... am I? Well, there are four bags,” says another.
“Fuck your mother! If we do this, just, damn it, fuck, you can go yourselves, damn it, to the Office of the President, yourselves. Trust me. I can see it,” sounds in the recording.
The audio does not mention any names or positions. Who they are, NABU has not yet disclosed.
Media, citing sources and deputies in their posts, have already named the individuals alleged to be involved in the investigation. According to a deputy from the Holos party, Yaroslav Zheliążny, among the defendants in the NABU and SAPO operation may be “a very well-known developer,” a current deputy from the prohibited pro-Russian party “Opposition Platform — For Life” (OPPZh). A deputy from “European Solidarity,” Oleksii Honcharenko, as of 9.18 stated that searches are currently taking place at the deputy head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra.
RBC-Ukraine, citing its own sources, reported that in the NABU and SAPO case there are also member of the parliamentary group “Restore Ukraine,” Vadym Stolar, and former MP Maksym Mikita. Sources also informed about Mudra and Stolar to Ukrainska Pravda.
According to ZN.UA sources, the case involves officials from the Ministry of Justice and representatives of Sense Bank. In particular, searches are also being conducted at the main office of Sense Bank, and the area around it has been cordoned off.
