Fursenko, defendant in "Mindich tapes", who complained that it was difficult for him to carry money, returned from holiday in Maldives on 8 November, - media

Fursenko ("Roshyk"), a figure in corruption, returned from the Maldives while the country was sitting without electricity.

Ihor Fursenko (Roshyk), a suspect in the "kickback" scheme at "Energoatom", returned to Ukraine on Saturday, 8 November, shortly before the start of the investigation, from a two-week holiday in the Maldives.

This is reported in an article by UP journalist Mykhailo Tkach, "Zelenskyy's "Svynarchuks": How the president's friends plundered the country during the war," according to Censor.NET.

Recently had a rest in the Maldives

"According to UP sources among law enforcement officials, one of the defendants in the case returned from a two-week holiday in the Maldives on Saturday. At that time, the country was already in a state of scheduled power cuts. This is the same individual who complained: "Carrying $1.6 million in cash is hardly a pleasure". The interlocutors emphasise that this is the chief accountant of the criminal organisation with the call sign "Roshyk" Ihor Fursenko," the article says.
