NABU continues the investigation of one of the loudest cases in Ukraine's energy sector. The bureau director, Semen Kryvoonos, stated in August about a “serious substantial progress,” but the details of the investigation have not yet been disclosed.
This was reported by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
The 'Midas' case became public after searches and reports about a possible corruption system around Energoatom. According to the investigation, certain suppliers could depend on an informal “barrier” — a payment without which the state did not settle payments for already completed contracts.
Later, the case extended far beyond a single state enterprise. Former high-ranking officials began to figure in it, and the saga of a pledge related to Hermann Galuschenko became the basis for NABU’s separate operation, “Forest Gump.”
In September, the president also included in the anticorruption working group Oleksandr Abakumov — head of the NABU investigative unit who worked on the 'Midas' case. At the same time, several officials were removed from the group, whose names appeared in other anticorruption proceedings.
How exactly the scheme could have worked and why a supplier could still end up without money after fulfilling a contract, Expert showed in the material “Barrier: how Energoatom’s suppliers were charged a tariff of 10–15%.”
All related investigations — in the special project “Carthage.”
