Iryna Mudra detained; she to spend tonight in temporary detention center

Law enforcement officials have detained former deputy head of the President's Office, Iryna Mudra. According to MP Oleksiy Honcharenko, Mudra is currently undergoing investigative procedures at the NABU and will spend the night in a temporary detention facility. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) announced the details of the "Forest Gump" special operation, implicating Mudra among others in a scheme to launder UAH 150 million for bail in the Midas case.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Mudra as Deputy Head of the President's Office on August 19, as she was responsible for various legal and international issues related to the President's activities and judicial reform.
