It works. It adapts. And now it will do everything to turn the search into a controlled release of steam, not the end <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/ali-baba-z-bankovoi-i-sorok-rozbiynykiv-iak-vlada-peretvoryla-derzhavu-na-pecheru\/\">of the Ali Baba era<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p> 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 \u201cthe readiness of materials\u201d on MIDAS and Mindich\u2019s orbit were raised, the president himself informed Yermak that the anti-corruption agencies were preparing steps.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/yermak-s-lesson-to-the-nation-corruption-isn-t-private-it-s-a-security-breach\/\">Yermak\u2019s Lesson to the Nation: Corruption Isn\u2019t Private \u2014 It\u2019s a Security Breach<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> Whether there was a direct text &#8220;they will come to you&#8221; &#8211; 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 &#8211; you prepare. You clean. You take it out. You rewrite. You translate.<\/p>\n<p> 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.<\/p>\n<p> <em>We will remind that on the morning of November 28, NABU detectives, together with SAPO prosecutors, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/nabu-i-sap-provodiat-obshuky-u-kerivnyka-op-andriia-yermaka\/\">conducted investigative actions in the government quarter<\/a> , where the office of the head of the President&#8217;s Office, Andriy Yermak, is located.
