UNIAN—Former advisor to the former energy minister Ihor Myroniuk, who is mentioned in the high-profile "Midas" case under the alias "Rocket," had his preventive measure softened, and was released from the pretrial detention center to house arrest.
This was reported by the public organization Transparency International Ukraine, citing a decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court.
"The investigating judge supported the motion and applied round-the-clock house arrest to Myroniuk," the statement reads.
He is now required to stay at home under arrest and comply with the assigned obligations, including wearing an electronic bracelet.
It is noted that the reason for such a decision was the expiration of the maximum period of detention during the investigation.
The Midas case
As reported by UNIAN, 12 on November 2025 of the year VAKS chose a preventive measure for Myriunyk.
The court imposed a preventive measure in the form of detention until 8 January 2026 of the year. A bail amount of 126 million hryvnias was also set.
Myroniuk, who was an adviser to Herman Halushchenko during his tenure as energy minister, attempted to destroy documents. Specifically, Myroniuk, also known by the alias "Rocket," tore up documents, tried to hide them, and threw them out of a window. Along with the documents, he threw his mobile phone out of the window as well.
13 on October 2026 of the year VAKS kept Myroniuk in custody but reduced the bail from 85 to 25 million UAH.
Among all suspects, Myroniuk spent the most time in custody—almost 1 year.
