Scandal/ Zelensky's deputy chief of staff under investigation for

Volodymyr Zelenskyy fired his deputy chief of staff, Iryna Mudra, on Wednesday as Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU, similar to SPAK in Albania) searches premises linked to her. A law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation told the Kyiv Independent that NABU officers are searching Mudra’s home.

NABU announced a few hours ago that it is conducting a “special operation to uncover a criminal organization, allegedly led by a current and a former Ukrainian MP, and involving high-ranking officials of the Presidential Administration.” A source told the Kyiv Independent that Mudra is also at the center of the investigation.

Later in the day, Ukraine's anti-corruption agency provided more information about the case, saying the suspects are accused of laundering 150 million hryvnia, or about $3.4 million. According to NABU, the money was paid as bail for a suspect in a separate corruption case.

Among the individuals suspected of being involved in this case are the former Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration, a current and a former MP, as well as the executive director and chairman of the supervisory board of the state-owned bank "Sense Bank".

Andi Bushati: An autumn with an end-of-regime atmosphere

Whether it's his own party's own dice that throw him a punch, whether it's citizens who boo him in the street, whether it's the brave SPAK prosecutors who have gotten close to his throat, or international journalists who compare him to the godfather, one thing shows that Edi Rama's political curve has reached its end. His propaganda narrative is already over.

Blendi Kajsiu: Prime Minister's misunderstanding on anti-corruption

The fact that no institution of our public administration noticed that millions of euros were invested in phantom incinerators, that AKSHI was controlled by an ordinary criminal, that the directors of the Municipality of Tirana awarded tenders to themselves, or that the police director and the director of SHISH worked for Gysi, shows that we do not have a public administration and a state.
