Khaberni - Ukrainian MP Alexander Dubinsky, who is detained on charges of high treason, said that Vladimir Zelensky's wife, Olena Zelenska, is present in the recordings of the corruption case.
Dubinsky published on his channel on "Telegram": "Olena Zelenska is in the Menditch recordings. She was resolving something regarding her payments."
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine announced on November 10th that it had carried out a large-scale operation in the energy sector, and published photos of bags filled with bundles of foreign currencies found during the operation.
Parliament Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak reported that the Bureau was conducting inspections at the home of the former Minister of Energy and the current Minister of Justice, Gherman Galushchenko, as well as at "Energoatom" company. "Ukrainska Pravda" newspaper cited a source saying that the Bureau's staff also searched the home of businessman and ally of Vladimir Zelensky, Menditch, who was found to have left Ukraine at that time.
The next day, the Bureau charged seven participants in a criminal organization involved in corruption in the energy sector, including Menditch. It was also revealed that the former Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, Oleksiy Chernyshov, was involved in the case.
On November 13th, Zelensky imposed sanctions on Menditch and his chief financial officer, Alexander Tsukerman. On November 19th, the Ukrainian Parliament dismissed Gherman Galushchenko, involved in the corruption case in the energy sector, from his position as Minister of Justice, and Svitlana Grynychuk from her position as Minister of Energy.
