Honcharenko summons Shefir to TIC hearing on "Mindichgate" case: He discussed Chernyshov’s rescue. DOCUMENT

Oleksii Honcharenko, a Member of Parliament for the "European Solidarity" party and chair of the Verkhovna Rada’s Temporary Investigation Commission, has summoned Serhii Shefir to a meeting of the Temporary Investigation Commission, which is due to take place on 13 May.

Honcharenko announced this on his Telegram channel, reports Censor.NET.

He points out that Shefir is one of the figures featured in the ‘Mindich tapes’.

"He visited Mindich at the flat on Hrushevsky Street 9a, which we are all familiar with. And they discussed the rescue of Zelenskyy’s godfather, Oleksii Chernyshov, and that infamous bail from the common fund. I am summoning Shefir to give official testimony on this case. So we look forward to seeing him at the meeting. There are more and more questions," noted Honcharenko.

Mindichgate

In November 2025, NABU carried out searches at Mindich’s premises; he had left Ukraine a few hours before the searches.
On 4 November, searches were carried out at one of the branches of the separate divisions of NAEK "Energoatom" in connection with a corruption case.
NABU also carried out searches at the home of former Energy Minister Halushchenko and at Energoatom.
On 10 November 2025, NABU and the SAPO announced a large-scale operation to expose corruption in the energy sector.
Subsequently, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau raided an office in central Kyiv belonging to the family of former MP and current Russian Federation Senator Andrii Derkach. There, they kept ‘black accounts’, recorded money transfers, and organised money laundering.
On 11 November, NABU released recordings featuring former Minister Herman Halushchenko and Mindich.
Former Minister Oleksii Chernyshov was notified of his status as a suspect in a case of illicit enrichment as part of Operation Midas.
One of the suspects, Dmytro Basov, was remanded in custody with bail set at 40 million hryvnias.
Halushchenko’s former adviser, Myroniuk, was remanded in custody with bail set at 126 million hryvnias.
The Cabinet of Ministers submitted proposals to the National Security and Defence Council regarding the imposition of personal sanctions against Timur Mindich and Oleksandr Tsukerman following the NABU investigation into corruption in the energy sector.
Ihor Myroniuk and Dmytro Basov, the executive director for security at Energoatom, who appeared in NABU recordings under the alias ‘Tenor’, were remanded in custody for 60 days.
Another suspect, Lesia Ustymenko, was also remanded in custody for 60 days.
The High Anti-Corruption Court has imposed a preventive measure on Igor Fursenko, a suspect in the energy sector corruption case (known as ‘Ryoshik’ in the NABU recordings).
On 13 November, the High Anti-Corruption Court arrested Liudmyla Zorina, setting bail at 12 million hryvnias.
Zelenskyy imposed sanctions against Mindich and Tsukerman.
On 1 December, a preventive measure – detention – was imposed on Mindich in absentia. The investigation considers him the leader of a group that received and laundered money from corruption schemes in the energy sector. Mindich’s case may now be referred to Interpol for his arrest, particularly when he crosses the border.
On 15 February 2026, Herman Halushchenko was detained whilst attempting to cross the border. On 16 February, it emerged that officials from the NABU and the SAPO had informed the former official of the charges against him, and the very next day, the court remanded him in custody with the possibility of bail set at 200 million hryvnias.
