Background:

• In July, Ukrainska Pravda, citing an influential source in the anti-corruption bodies, reported that NABU and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) were preparing a notice of suspicion to be served on Mindich.
• Ukrainska Pravda sources in business circles said that employees of NABU and SAPO "managed to record Mindich in a flat at the same address where the president's birthday celebration took place five years ago".
• Ukrainska Pravda also reported that Mindich may become a subject of investigation by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, potentially related to money laundering.
• According to Ukrainska Pravda sources, American investigators are looking into an offshore company from the British Virgin Islands, a company registered in the UK, and a man nicknamed "Sugarman". (This name appears to match businessman Mykhailo Tsukerman. As noted in investigations by Yaroslav Zhelezniak, MP from the Holos (Voice) faction, Tsukerman and companies associated with him "were involved with the Odesa Port Plant before the full-scale invasion.").
