As reported earlier, on November 10, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) announced the exposure of a corruption scheme in the energy sector. The main activity of the criminal organization was the systematic receipt of illegal benefits from Energoatom's contractors, amounting to 10–15% of contract values.

NABU noted that it was conducting a special operation to uncover corruption in the energy sector.

According to the bureau, members of the criminal organization built a large-scale corruption network to influence strategic enterprises in the state sector, including Energoatom.

As a knowledgeable law enforcement source told Ukrinform, on the morning of November 10, NABU conducted searches at the home of businessman and co-owner of the Kvartal 95 studio, Tymur Mindich, as well as at the home of Justice Minister German Galushchenko, who previously served as Minister of Energy.
