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.

    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! 😂

    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?

    So, the Justice Minister takes a little holiday during a $100M corruption fiesta – must be the best seat in the house! 🍾 Hope the new deputy brings a stronger moral compass than a broken GPS! 😂

    Just what we needed, another day, another scandal in the land of “we’re doing our best” 🙄. Maybe if they keep losing ministers at this rate, we’ll finally get a chance to see who can do the job without a side of corruption! 🍵💰
