President Volodymyr Zelensky included head of the First Main Division of NABU detectives Oleksandr Abakumov, who investigated the "Midas" case, in the anti-corruption working group.
This is evidenced by presidential decree No.851/2026.
According to the decree, Abakumov was added to the working group that is drafting proposals regarding Ukraine's participation in the OECD Working Group on Bribery in International Business Transactions.
At the same time, Zelensky removed from it former Deputy Head of the Office of the President Iryna Mudra and Head of the Directorate for Legal Policy of the Presidential Office Viktor Dubovyk — figures in the "Forest Gump" and "Themis" cases.
The group also excluded former Vice Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Taras Kachka and Deputy Head of NABU Polina Lysenko.
Mudra was also relieved of her duties as secretary of the working group:
"Withdraw I. Mudra from the composition of the specified working group, relieving her of the duties of secretary of the working group, V. Dubovyk, T. Kachka and P. Lysenko," the decree states.
... 19 August NABU and the SAP published the "Forest Gump" investigation about a criminal group that organized the legalization of funds to pay bail for former Minister of Energy and Justice Herman Halushchenko. They used the state-run Sense Bank for this.
20 August the anti-corruption authorities released the second part of the investigation ("Themis") about how the same criminal group organized raider seizures of real estate and businesses in Kyiv. Earlier, a prosecutor from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) listed the individuals mentioned in the "Forest Gump" and "Themis" cases. Among them are Iryna Mudra, former Deputy Head of the Office of the President; Viktor Dubovyk, Director General of the Directorate for Legal Policy of the Office of the President; Olena Ferens, Deputy Minister of Justice; and Maksym Mykytas, a former member of parliament.
