Operation Midas (Ukrainian: Опера́ція «Міда́с», romanized: Operacija "Midas") (also known as "Mindich-gate") is an anti-corruption investigation of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) that was launched in 2024 and is ongoing as of November 2025. The investigation concerns large-scale bribery in the energy sector of Ukraine, committed during the Russo-Ukrainian war. During the data collection operation, which lasted 15 months, more than 70 searches were conducted, 4 million US dollars were seized and about 1,000 hours of audio recordings of the suspects' conversations were obtained.
Operation Midas is considered to be one of the most high-profile anti-corruption investigations in Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
