The SBU detained businessman Vasyl Veselyi in Kyiv
In Kyiv, SBU officers detained businessman Vasyl Veselyi. At this time, the SBU has not released any official comments regarding the reasons for the detention or Veselyi’s legal status, so the details of the case remain unknown.
In the public sphere, the businessman’s name had previously been mentioned in connection with the scandalous “Mindich tapes,” as well as in various journalistic investigations where he appeared as one of the participants in business dealings that attracted media attention.
This was reported byformer MP Ihor Mosiychuk, who noted that the incident took place in the capital.
The figure involved in the high-profile Mindich tapes case visited the NBU in 2024.
The new “Mindich tapes” revealed conversations about control over Karpatnaftohim.
In the latest installment of the “Midas” investigation, journalists released transcripts of recordings related to possible attempts to influence the banking sector and the management of state-seized assets in Ukraine.
Ukrainska Pravda’s investigation, based on the results of Operation Midas, may indicate that jewelry business owners lobbied for the cancellation of taxes or for lower tax rates during a full-scale war.
