The "Midas" Case. Former Advisor to Halushchenko Had His Preventive Measure Relaxed

A mitigation of the preventive measure was chosen for Ihor Myroniuk. The defendant in the "Midas" corruption case in the energy sector spent almost a year in pretrial detention.

"Rocket" was released from the pretrial detention center. The former advisor to former Minister of Energy Herman Halushchenko, Ihor Myroniuk, who appears in the "Midas" case under the name "Rocket," had his preventive measure relaxed. He was released from the pretrial detention center to house arrest. Among all the suspects in this case, Myroniuk was held in custody the longest — almost a year. Now, while under house arrest, he will wear an electronic bracelet. The reason for easing the preventive measure was the expiration of the maximum period of pretrial detention during the investigation. The "Midas" case: the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) placed Myroniuk in custody back on 12 November 2025 with the option of posting bail in the amount of 126 million hryvnias. Later the court reduced the bail several times; it now stands at 25 million hryvnias. Already in November of last year, the prosecutor explained the need to keep Myroniuk in custody because of the risk of destroying evidence. During a search he tried to destroy documents and throw away a phone. Myroniuk is implicated in a corruption case in the energy sector. The perpetrators of the scheme systematically received kickbacks from Energoatom contractors ranging from 10% to 15% of contract values. At trial, Myroniuk denied his involvement with the Ministry of Energy and Energoatom.

In addition, the State Bureau of Investigation explained the circumstances of the visit by Ihor Myroniuk, a subject of the NABU investigation codenamed "Rocket," to the Bureau’s building.
