Midas tapes person involved Tsukerman denies involvement in corruption at Energoatom and does not rule out returning to Ukraine

Businessman Oleksandr Tsukerman, suspected of involvement in a corruption scheme at Energoatom, has denied all charges.

He stated this in a comment to journalists of the Schemes project (Radio Liberty).

"It's all untrue, it's all a lie," he said, but did not explain his position in detail.

Tsukerman also did not confirm that he is currently in Israel, noting that it "doesn't matter." At the same time, he did not rule out the possibility of returning to Ukraine.

"I will [return] with pleasure. This is my homeland. [I will do it] when the time comes," he said.

As a reminder, the Cabinet of Ministers submitted for approval to the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) a proposal to impose sanctions on the defendants in the corruption case in the energy sector, businessman, co-owner of the Kvartal 95 studio Tymur Mindich, and businessman Oleksandr Tsukerman.

Meanwhile, the High Anti-Corruption Court has chosen a preventive measure for Lesia Ustymenko and Ihor Fursenko, who are suspected of involvement in a large-scale corruption scheme to embezzle funds from the state-owned company Energoatom.
