UAH 150 million, a state bank and people from the Office of the President: operation "Forrest Gump"

The case in briefRESISTANCE MEDIA

NABU and SAPO carried out the special operation "Forrest Gump" - a continuation of the story around the "Midas" case. This time detectives are investigating how UAH 150 million of dubious origin could have been "laundered" to post bail for one of the suspects in the case. Cash was handed to a so-called "laundry", after which it reached accounts through controlled companies as non-cash funds. In total, UAH 150 million was legalised this way.

A separate detail: during the investigative actions detectives found an anti-crisis communication plan regarding the work of a Verkhovna Rada temporary investigative commission, with steps and messages spelled out.

The investigation is examining a story that simultaneously involves money from the "Midas" case, a state bank, officials and possible interference in the work of law enforcement and anti-corruption bodies.

And all of this is called "Forrest Gump". But we hope running from responsibility forever will not work.

RESISTANCE will follow this case. Join RESISTANCE.
