Significant progress has been made in the investigation into the “Midas” case. However, investigators are not yet releasing any details.
This was stated by the Director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, Semyon Krivonos, at a briefing dedicated to the results of the work of NABU and SAP for the first half of 2026.
According to Krivonos, “significant, substantial progress” has been made in the case so far, but it will only be possible to disclose specific results when the time is right.
He also reported that Energoatom does not yet have the status of a victim in this criminal case.
“As far as I know, there is no victim status in the criminal proceedings yet. But again, I emphasize: according to investigators, more than 100 million hryvnias passed through the relevant laundromat. The investigation is ongoing,” the NABU director said.
Krivonos added that the bureau expects to complete the pre-trial investigation of the case “on time.”
At the same time, the head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, Oleksandr Klimenko, reported that Ukraine has not yet received a response from Israel to its requests for the extradition of suspects in the Midas case.
In particular, this concerns businessman Timur Mindich and his business partner Alexander Tsukerman.
“We haven’t received any response yet. That is, the relevant inquiries have been sent, but we’re awaiting a response from the other side,” Klimenko said.
Earlier, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine announced suspicion against six more participants in the Midas case regarding the laundering of criminally obtained property on an especially large scale.
The day before, “Pryamiy” reported that on May 11, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office conducted investigative actions with the former head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak.
