Government Corruption

Former Deputy Energy Minister Oleksandr Kheylo is accused of receiving a $500,000 bribe to allow the export of mining equipment from a frontline area in Donetsk.

On November 10, NABU searched the home of businessman and presidential ally Tymur Mindich, who had already left Ukraine. Ukrainska Pravda’s reporters documented secret meetings between SAPO’s first deputy, Andriy Synyuk, and a lawyer connected to Mindich, raising questions about possible leaks of sensitive criminal cases.

NABU and SAP after 15 months of investigation and over 1,000 hours of audio recordings, anti-corruption detectives have uncovered the operations of a high-level criminal organization.
