On November 10, NABU announced Operation Midas to expose a “high-level criminal organization” that was engaged in extortion at Energoatom. According to the investigation, the state-owned company's contractors were offered to pay a kickback of 10% to 15% for goods and services, threatening to block payments from the budget or break off cooperation.
According to the head of the NABU detective department, Alexander Abakumov, four ministers from different parts of the Ukrainian government are involved in the Energoatom case, Ukrayinska Pravda reported.
People's Deputy from “Voice” Yaroslav Zheleznyak announced Grinchuk's involvement in this situation. The minister replied that she “does not understand the claims.” However, after a video message from President Vladimir Zelensky on November 12, in which he noted that, in his opinion, Galushchenko and Grinchuk “cannot remain in their positions,” Minister Grinchuk submitted her resignation.
