(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Kryvonos said this during his speech at a meeting of the Temporary Investigative Commission of the Verkhovna Rada on economic security, Ukrinform's correspondent reports.

"It is necessary to record and close this loophole that allows employees of other law enforcement agencies to 'surf' through our rulings when they look in the registry to see whom we requested searches for. A judge from some regional court can easily go in and look at a ruling of the HACC. We have already asked many times: close the loophole," he said.

In addition, Kryvonos noted that, according to the bureau, representatives of other law enforcement agencies monitored the movements of detectives involved in investigating corruption in the energy sector through the Safe City video monitoring system and provided this information to the subjects of the investigation.

The head of NABU called this pressure on the agency's employees.

As Ukrinform reported, on November 10 NABU announced a special operation to expose corruption in the energy sector. According to the investigation, members of the criminal organization built a large-scale scheme to influence strategic enterprises of the state sector, including Energoatom.

The main activity of the criminal organization was the systematic receipt of unlawful benefits from contractors of NNEGC Energoatom. The amount of this unlawful benefit ranged from 10% to 15% of the value of the contracts.

Anti-corruption bureau employees conducted searches at the home of businessman and co-owner of Kvartal 95 studio, Tymur Mindich, as well as at the home of Justice Minister German Galushchenko, who previously served as Minister of Energy.

The Ministry of Justice later confirmed that investigative actions involving Galushchenko were carried out as part of a criminal case.

Later, the bureau noted that seven people are suspects in the case: a businessman whom the investigation considers the leader of the criminal organization, a former adviser to the Minister of Energy, the Executive Director for Physical Protection and Security of Energoatom, and four employees of a back office involved in money laundering. Five people have been detained so far.

On November 13, President Volodymyr Zelensky enacted an NSDC decision imposing personal sanctions on Tymur Mindich and Oleksandr Tsukerman.
