NABU releases audio recording in case involving MPs and senior presidential officials

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) has released an audio recording in a case involving members of parliament and senior presidential officials, Ukrinform has learned. The operation, dubbed "Forrest Gump," aims to expose a corruption scheme, according to the bureau's press service.

In the recording, one participant declares, "That's why it's Forrest Gump," emphasizing the foolishness of putting money into children's hands and then stealing it. Another voice in the recording suggests, "If we do this... you can go to the Office of the President yourself. Believe me. I can see it."

The NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) announced on August 19 that they are conducting a special operation to unmask a criminal organization allegedly led by a current and former Ukrainian member of parliament. This alleged organization operates with the assistance of high-ranking officials from the Office of the President and other individuals.

Sources cited by Ukrinform indicate that NABU detectives are currently investigating Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Iryna Mudra, as part of this operation.
