        As established during the pre-trial investigation, SAP reported, "in 2020, the Minister of Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine (position at the time the crime began) decided to build a private cottage community with its own spa complex in the village of Kozyn, Kyiv region."

This amounts to almost 9 million USD," NABU shared the details.

        SAP noted that "among the suspects are: the former Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine; the former Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine (organizer); a businessman (one of the leaders of the criminal organization exposed in November 2025 as part of the 'Midas' special operation, co-organizer); 4 individuals controlled by the former Vice Prime Minister."

        Reminder

        NABU shared details of the suspicion against the former Head of the Office of the President, Andriy Yermak.

        According to the investigation, in 2018, the person of interest nicknamed "Che Guevara," likely former Vice Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov, became one of the founders of Buddevelopment LLC. In the summer of 2019, this LLC purchased over 4 hectares of land from the Kozyn Village Council, which became the basis for future construction. 

        In May 2020, the concept of the "Dynasty" private construction project was born on the lands owned by the company. 

        In July 2025, construction was temporarily halted due to the serving of suspicions to the persons of interest in the case. 

        On April 29, media outlets published a transcript called part of the "Mindich tapes." Among other things, they mention the estates of the "Dynasty" cooperative. 

        Last year, on November 10, NABU and SAP reported on an operation to expose a corruption scheme of influence on strategic state sector enterprises, in particular JSC "NNEGC "Energoatom." The operation was named "Midas."
