WAS prolonged detention of former energy minister’s adviser Mironyuk and reduced bail to 25 million hryvnias

The High Anti-Corruption Court extended the preventive measure of detention for Ihor Mironyuk, but reduced the amount of the alternative bail from 85 million hryvnias to 25 million.

This was reported by the Anti-Corruption Action Center.

"Investigative judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court Viktor Nohachevskyi partially granted the detective’s motion and extended the preventive measure of detention for the former adviser to Energy Minister Halushchenko – Ihor Mironyuk," the report says.

At the same time, the court reduced the amount of the alternative bail from 85 million hryvnias to 25 million hryvnias.

If the bail is posted, Mironyuk, among other things, will not be allowed to leave Kyiv without permission, must surrender his foreign passports, and must wear an electronic bracelet.

Mironyuk has been in custody for 11 months. WAS has already reduced his bail four times, the Anti-Corruption Action Center notes.

Mironyuk is one of the key figures in the "Midas" operation. He was an adviser to former Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko.

"In particular, he likely received funds from another suspect, Basov, and passed them to a back office that was located in the apartment of the traitor Derkach," the Anti-Corruption Action Center notes.
