The High Anti-Corruption Court softened the preventive measure for former adviser to ex-Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko, Ihor Mironyuk, known in the "Midas" case by the call sign "Rocket." The figure was released from the pre-trial detention center under around-the-clock house arrest — previously the HACC had kept Galushchenko’s former adviser in custody, each time reducing the amount of the alternative bail. Among all the suspects in the case, Mironyuk spent the longest time in custody — almost a year. He was now assigned procedural obligations, including wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet.
The change of preventive measure was reported by the civil society organization Transparency International Ukraine, citing the decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court. The reason for the softening was the expiration of the maximum term of detention during pre-trial investigation. According to the ruling, Mironyuk is required to remain constantly at his place of residence, not leave the boundaries of Kyiv, and surrender his passports for traveling abroad.
The HACC took Mironyuk into custody back on 12 November 2025 with the possibility of posting bail in the amount of 126 million hryvnias. Subsequently, the court reduced the bail amount several times — in October 2026 it was set at 25 million hryvnias. Thus, over almost a year in custody the bail decreased by 100 million hryvnias. As early as November 2025 the prosecutor explained the need to keep Mironyuk in custody due to the risk of destroying evidence — during a search he tried to destroy documents and throw away a phone.
Mironyuk is a figure in the "Midas" case concerning corruption in the energy sector. According to investigators, scheme participants systematically received "kickbacks" from Energoatom contractors ranging from 10% to 15% of contract values. At court hearings Mironyuk denied his involvement with work at the Ministry of Energy and at Energoatom.
What role the investigation assigns to Mironyuk in the case
According to the investigation’s version, within the corruption scheme known as the "barrier" at Energoatom, Mironyuk received money from another suspect, Dmytro Basov, and transferred it to the so-called back office located in a Kyiv apartment linked to former pro-Russian MP Andriy Derkach. Investigators believe Mironyuk acted as a supervisor of nuclear energy and influenced personnel and financial decisions in the sector.
Earlier Informator reported that Mironyuk’s bail had been reduced to 85 million hryvnias, although he remained behind bars at that time. The SAP prosecutor emphasized then that during the search Mironyuk was tearing documents and tried to throw items, including a phone, out the window. We also reported that Ihor Mironyuk denied in court any connection with Galushchenko, asserting that he never held the position of adviser to the minister of energy and never had employment relations with the ministry.
