The court sent Mindich into custody in absentia

The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court in absentia chose a preventive measure in the form of arrest for businessman and suspect of participation in a corruption scheme Timur Mindich.

This was reported by “Suspilne”.

Because Mindich is abroad, his interests were represented in court by a state attorney. He noted that he was unable to contact his client.

At the same time, bail was not set for the alleged defendant, as there is no such possibility when a preventive measure is chosen in absentia.

The court session was closed for 15 minutes due to the consideration of evidence that could harm national security.

After the preventive measure is chosen, anti-corruption authorities will put Mindich on the international wanted list for detention.

As a reminder, NABU and SAPO are conducting a large-scale operation “Midas” to expose corruption in the energy sector . According to the investigation, the activities of a high-level criminal organization were established, which controlled financial flows and personnel decisions in state energy structures.

By the way, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office reported suspicions against 7 individuals involved in a large-scale corruption scheme at JSC NNEGC Energoatom .

As is known, journalists from “Schemes” identified the names of individuals whom NABU detectives reported suspicious to as part of an investigation into corruption in the energy sector, including Timur Mindich.

Earlier, Zelenskyy imposed NSDC sanctions against the co-owner of Kvartal-95 Timur Mindich and businessman Oleksandr Zukerman , who are linked to a corruption case in the energy sector.
