Zelensky fires deputy chief of staff amid corruption investigation
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) is searching Mudra's premises, a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation told the Kyiv Independent on Aug. 19.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has fired Deputy Chief of Staff Iryna Mudra following a corruption investigation by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU). The NABU is currently searching Mudra's premises and has accused her, along with other high-ranking Ukrainian officials, of laundering 150 million hryvnias ($3.4 million) intended as bail for a suspect in a separate corruption case.
The suspects reportedly include a deputy head of the President's Office, a member of parliament, a former member of parliament, and the CEO and supervisory board head of Sense Bank. Mudra oversees the judiciary and judicial reform at the President's Office.
