The Story
Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies are investigating senior officials in President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's office, including deputy head Iryna Mudraya, who was dismissed. Mudraya's home was reportedly searched as part of an investigation into an alleged money-laundering scheme involving 150 million hryvnia ($3.3 million). The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) are targeting an alleged criminal organization involving current and former lawmakers. ZN.ua cited law-enforcement sources identifying Mudraya, lawmaker Vadim Stolar, and ex-MP Maksim Mikitas as targeted individuals.
