Ukrainian anti-graft authorities detain ex-minister in major case

“Today NABU detectives detained a former minister of energy while crossing the state border, within the framework of the ‘Midas’ case,” NABU said in its statement. “Priority investigative actions are ongoing, which are being carried out in accordance with the requirements of the law.” The agency said more details would come. It did not name the individual. Ukraine’s previous two energy ministers had resigned amid the fallout from the scandal, which also claimed the job of Zelenskiy’s chief of staff. Battling corruption is a key priority in Ukraine’s reform effort as it eyes membership of the European Union, which requires the country shake off a decades-old scourage of graft. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
