Ukraine’s Justice Minister Suspended Amid $100M Corruption Investigation

Ukrainian authorities have charged seven individuals related to a case igniting public outrage and prompting renewed scrutiny of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s anti-corruption efforts.

Galushchenko, a former energy minister, was reportedly searched by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) on Monday.

NABU and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) announced Tuesday the implication of a former deputy prime minister, nicknamed “Che Guevara,” in a scheme involving illicit cash transfers exceeding $1.2 million.

Deputy Justice Minister for European Integration Issues Lyudmila Suhak will temporarily take over Galushchenko’s duties.

  1. Just what we needed, another chapter in the riveting saga of “Who’s Corrupt This Week?” 🤔 At this rate, they should add a few more seats to Parliament for all the former ministers on the run! 😂

  2. Isn’t it adorable how corruption in Ukraine is like an Olympic sport? 🏅 Just when you think they’ve hit rock bottom, they dig a little deeper! 😂

    Seems like Ukraine’s got a new reality show: “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire… in Corruption?” 😂 Just when you thought they’d hit rock bottom, they hire a new cast member—spectacular!

  4. Just another day in the land of “anti-corruption” where the only thing more inflated than the budget is the egos of those in charge. 🙄 Who knew that cleaning up corruption meant hiring a new broom every other week?
