VOICE OF FREE EUROPE: Corruption scandal rocks Ukraine. Zelensky’s closest associate flees the country hours before police raids.

These raids target 70 properties. At least $100 million of America and EU taxpayers’ donations are stolen.

Another huge corruption scandal in Ukraine. This may have been why Zelensky was trying to crush the anti-corruption agency NABU earlier this year.

In yet another sign of rampant corruption, Ukrainian security forces raided the apartment of Timur Mindich. This corruption drains Ukraine and the 27 nations making up the European Union. He is a businessman associated with President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The oligarch had already fled the country. He went to Israel just hours before. This likely happened after being tipped off by an insider.

Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) says that $100 million was siphoned off. This was due to a money laundering operation. Other associates were involved.

The 15-month investigation featured 1,000 hours of wiretapping and resulted in 70 raids, according to NABU.

Numerous reports are speculating that Mindich fled to Israel. He has close connections to Israel and just celebrated his birthday there. However, most media reports are afraid to disclose his destination country.

NABU made a statement. They indicated that several individuals had formed a criminal gang. They had built a ‘large-scale corruption scheme’ to influence strategic enterprises in the public sector, in particular Energoatom.

The scheme involved forcing Energoatom’s counterparties to pay kickbacks of approximately 10 to 15 percent of contract values. This was to avoid having payments for services or goods blocked. They also risked possibly losing their status as suppliers, the bureau reported.

NABU indicated that the raids and arrests were part of an operation code-named ‘Midas.’ The initial investigations were already launched in 2024.

‘Particular attention was paid to cryptocurrencies. Most operations, including cash withdrawals, took place outside Ukraine.

For example, during foreign delegations of representatives of state bodies and the management of state-owned energy sector enterprises,’ NABU notes.

In a sign that Ukraine’s love affair with Zelensky may be over, the Kyiv Independent is detailing how deeply entwined Zelensky is with Mindlich, writing:

Mindich, 46, is from the city of Dnipro in central Ukraine. He is a film producer and former business partner of Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky.

He has links to Israel.

Mindich celebrated his birthday in Israel in September. He returned to Ukraine in mid-October. Then, he went to Israel again, according to Ukrainska Pravda’s sources.

Mindich is a long-time friend of Zelensky. They co-owned the production company Kvartal 95. Zelensky transferred his stake to partners after being elected president in 2019.

Kolomoisky told Ukrainska Pravda in 2022 that Mindich had introduced him to Zelensky before he became president.

Notably, Zelensky ran into serious hot water with the entire European Union when he attempted to eliminate NABU’s independence.

At the time, it sparked the first large-scale protests in the city since the war broke out. Zelensky was forced to backtrack. The investigation into his associate may have played a vital role in his efforts to castrate NABU.

According to reports from the website ‘Ukrainska Pravda,’ the suspects include Mindich. Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko, whose home was also searched, is also a suspect. He previously served as energy minister.

Already, three in four Ukrainians believe Zelensky is at fault for corruption in the country. This latest case is sure to ramp up pressure on his regime, which refuses to hold elections.

Russia is gleeful after mass raids

Russia recognizes how embarrassing the raids on Zelensky’s associate are and how potentially dangerous they are for his continued rule.

Vladimir Rogov is the chairman of the Commission of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation. He stated that ‘Mindich is one of Zelensky’s main wallets. However, he is not the only one.

Now there is a surge of panic and fear in Zelensky’s entourage. And troubled times are coming for Zelensky himself.’

He described ‘panic’ inside Zelensky’s regime, and he said that his entourage is now accusing NABU of working with Russia.

‘It will look doubly ridiculous. NABU is a purely American tool for controlling funds and combating Zelensky’s exorbitant thievish appetites,’ Rogov said.

HITLER ON PALESTINE: ‘For while the Zionists try to make the rest of the world believe that the national consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in the creation of a Palestinian state, the Jews again slyly dupe the dumb Goyim. 

It doesn’t even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they want is a central organization for their international world swindle, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: Palestine is a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks.’  ~ Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf.
