The investigating judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court has extended the pre-trial investigation period in the corruption case at 'Energoatom' until August 10, 2026. This case involves businessmen, a former Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine, and other individuals.
The investigation of corruption offenses at 'Energoatom' is being conducted by the High Anti-Corruption Court. On November 10, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine announced suspicions against seven individuals, among whom are:

Additionally, Timur Mindič and Oleksandr Tsukerman, who are also suspected of involvement in corruption, have been under sanctions in Ukraine since November 13. On December 1, the High Anti-Corruption Court chose a preventive measure in the form of detention for Timur Mindič in absentia. Among the other suspects in the case are:
- Igor Fursenko;
- Lesya Ustyemenko;
- Ludmila Zorina.
The seriousness of the charges
Thus, the investigation continues, and new data may emerge in the near future.
