Mindichgate: searches on Bankova are not the end of history, but the beginning of open war

Source: Author’s Facebook page

The searches at Andriy Yermak’s house are the day that half the country has been waiting for and the other half of Bankova Street has been dreading to death. But anyone who is now exhaling, “well, finally, everything is resolved now,” is making a dangerous mistake.

Nothing has been decided. The search of the head of the OP is not a victory. It is just the moment when the shadow state and the formal state finally clashed openly.

In this situation, the worst thing we can do is relax and believe in the fairy tale “justice has worked, now it’s a happy ending.” No. The system that covered up Yermak for years did not disappear overnight. It works. It adapts. And now it will do everything to turn the search into a controlled release of steam, not the end of the Ali Baba era .

There is an important detail that is already being discussed in professional circles: Yermak knew about this search in advance. At least, a few days in advance. According to insider information, it is no secret to a narrow circle that after a conversation with the leadership of NABU and SAPO, where the issues of “the readiness of materials” on MIDAS and Mindich’s orbit were raised, the president himself informed Yermak that the anti-corruption agencies were preparing steps.

Whether there was a direct text “they will come to you” – one can only guess. But a person who has lived in the power system for decades is an excellent reader of signals. If you know that NABU is already on the doorstep, if you have long seen your name next to Mindich, if half the country is discussing possible suspicions – you prepare. You clean. You take it out. You rewrite. You translate.

Therefore, searches that the defendant knows about in advance always result in a minimum of results and a maximum of political symbolism. They are not needed for the truth. They are needed for balance.

We will remind that on the morning of November 28, NABU detectives, together with SAPO prosecutors, conducted investigative actions in the government quarter , where the office of the head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak, is located. Later, the official confirmed that searches were being conducted in his apartment .

It should be noted that the head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak, appears in the “Mindich tapes” released by NABU as part of an investigation into corruption in the energy sector, under the code name “Ali Baba.”
