Chernyshov appears in NABU’s new tape in the Mindich case: the former deputy prime minister has been served a notice of suspicion

Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) has released another tape in the case of businessman Tymur Mindich, who is close to President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Judging by the photos, former deputy prime minister Oleksiy Chernyshov appears on it.

According to NABU, Chernyshov—whom the figures referred to internally as “Che Guevara”—received $1.2 million and nearly €100,000 in cash in an office and in a medical clinic owned by a member of the criminal organization.

The last sum—$500,000—was handed to Chernyshov’s wife after he had already been named a suspect by NABU and SAPO in corruption offenses.

NABU also published the fourth installment of the “Mindich tapes” featuring Chernyshov.

Meanwhile, NABU says the former deputy prime minister has been notified of suspicion of illicit enrichment.

According to the investigation, the ex-official was among those who visited the so-called “laundromat”—a place where illicitly obtained funds were legalized. The “laundromat” was controlled by the head of the criminal organization whose exposure was announced yesterday by NABU and SAPO.

In its latest wiretap video about former deputy prime minister Chernyshov, NABU also teased the next installment in the Mindich case recordings, which will feature someone referred to as “Sigismund.”

Earlier, NABU released the “Mindich tapes” and served him a notice of suspicion.
