Earlier the court reduced Ihor Myronyuk’s bail to 25 million UAH.
The High Anti-Corruption Court changed the preventive measure for the former adviser to the Minister of Energy, Ihor Myronyuk.
This was reported by Transparency International Ukraine.
The investigating judge granted the motion and placed Myronyuk under around-the-clock house arrest.
The decision was made because the maximum period of pretrial detention during the investigation had expired. Among all the suspects, Myronyuk had been detained the longest — almost a year. He is now required to stay at home and wear an electronic bracelet.
Before that — on 13 October — the court kept Myronyuk in custody but reduced the bail from 85 to 25 million hryvnias.
The "Midas" case
Last year NABU and the SAP announced a large-scale operation exposing corruption in the energy sector operating within Energoatom.
According to the investigation, two people — an adviser to Halushchenko and the executive director for physical protection at Energoatom — implemented a kickback scheme with each contractor of the energy company. In other words, absolutely all goods and services sold to Energoatom were accompanied by bribes in the amount of 10–15% of the contract value. The organizer of the scheme is believed to be Tymur Mindich — a businessman and co-owner of the Studio "Kvartal 95."
The adviser and the Energoatom employee appear in numerous intercepted recordings of their conversations. Halushchenko’s own voice was not present on the released tapes.
According to Skhemy, the suspects include Tymur Mindich (on the NABU tapes he is Carlson), former adviser to the minister of energy Ihor Myronyuk (Rocket), Energoatom’s executive director for security Dmytro Basov (Tenor), as well as four “staff” of the back office for money legalization: Oleksandr Tsukerman (Sugarman), Ihor Fursenko (Ryoshyk), Lesia Ustymenko, and Liudmyla Zorina.
A suspicion was also issued to former Vice Prime Minister Oleksii Chernyshov, who is already a figure in another case.
