Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy promised to support a full investigation into a widening corruption scandal that’s engulfing the country’s ruling elite, including his former business partner.

Timur Mindich, co-owner of the TV production company that helped turn Zelenskiy into a celebrity before his presidential run, was on Tuesday named as an alleged ringleader of a scheme to embezzle as much as $100 million.
