Large-scale corruption in energy sector: NABU uncovers Kyiv office owned by traitor Derkach’s family. VIDEO
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) uncovered an office in central Kyiv belonging to the family of former Ukrainian MP and current Russian senator Andrii Derkach. The office kept a "black ledger," tracked cash flows and organised money-laundering operations.
This was reported by the NABU press service, according to Censor.NET.
Legalisation
It is noted that the dedicated office within the criminal organisation was responsible for laundering illegally obtained funds.
The premises belonged to the family of Andrii Derkach, a former Ukrainian MP and now a Russian Federation senator, who has been charged by NABU and SAPO in a separate criminal case.
Money laundering
According to NABU, the office maintained strict records of incoming funds, kept an off-the-books "black ledger," and coordinated money laundering via a network of non-resident companies. A significant share of transactions, including cash payouts, was conducted outside Ukraine.
For services provided to clients outside the criminal group, the office charged a fee as a percentage of the amounts processed. In total, roughly USD 100 million passed through the so-called "laundromat."
Background
