In the anti-corruption investigation codenamed "Forrest Gump," new details emerged about where the money for the bail of former energy minister Herman Halushchenko came from. Investigators recorded the handing over of cash to the former deputy head of the Office of the President.
As Member of Parliament Yaroslav Zhelezniak reported, during the court hearing the SAP prosecutor revealed that 9 June businessman Timur Mindich gave Iryna Mudra funds to post bail for Herman Halushchenko.
Investigators uncovered the scheme for transferring the funds
During the hearing on the pretrial restriction for Sense Bank chairman Oleksii Stupak, the SAP prosecutor stated the businessman’s involvement in passing the money. According to the recorded conversations of the suspects presented, it was Mindich who contacted Mudra about the bail.
Law enforcement continues to play in court the seized recordings of conversations. In particular, they assert that it was Mindich who provided the money for Halushchenko’s bail.
By the way, the High Anti-Corruption Court 25 August chose a preventive measure for the former deputy head of the Office of the President. Mudra was taken into custody for 60 days with the alternative of bail set at 20 million hryvnias.
The suspect said she would try to raise the money for the bail, and claimed that she personally had part of the funds.
Recall that Mindich, like Halushchenko, is a figure in another NABU and SAP case called "Midas." The National Security and Defense Council imposed sanctions on the businessman over his involvement in corruption schemes and extorting "kickbacks" from Energoatom’s contractors.
