On May 12, 2026, the NABU and the SAPO served suspicion notices on six more members of the organized group implicated in the laundering of criminally obtained property on a particularly large scale.
They are:
- former Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, identified as Oleksii Chernyshov;
- a businessman (one of the leaders of the criminal organization exposed in November 2025 under Operation Midas, and a co-organizer of the scheme) identified as Timur Mindich;
- four additional individuals under the former Deputy Prime Minister's control.
The NABU and the SAPO state that in 2020, Oleksii Chernyshov decided to build a private estate with its own spa complex in the village of Kozyn, Kyiv Region. As future neighbors and co-investors, he brought in individuals with significant influence over the country's political and economic processes: the Head of the Office of the President (at the time the offense began) and an influential businessman.
Part of the construction funds — nearly $9 million — was channeled through the so-called "laundry" controlled by Mindich, the future owner of one of the residences.
