"Sigismund" on the payroll: $150,000 per month

In the "Midas" case, former Minister of Energy and Justice Herman Galushchenko appears under the codename "Sigismund." According to NABU, from 2021 to 2025, the criminal organization laundered $12.9 million on his behalf — about $150,000 monthly. The funds were routed through an offshore company on Anguilla Island, converted into cryptocurrency, and settled in Swiss accounts of his children's mother.

$112 million from Energoatom — the "barrier" scheme

The total amount withdrawn from the state company, according to the investigation, exceeds $112 million. The scheme was called "barrier": Energoatom's contractors paid kickbacks to avoid blocking payments for already completed contracts. Galushchenko, as a minister, was a key element of this mechanism — lobbying for a moratorium on the company's debt repayments, which fueled the scheme.

Detained on the Kyiv — Warsaw train

On the night of February 15, 2026, NABU detectives removed Galushchenko from the "Kyiv — Warsaw" train during his attempt to leave the country. The next day — suspicion was filed. The High Anti-Corruption Court set bail at UAH 200 million — an alternative to detention. Galushchenko said he "could find about 20-30 million" — and smiled. He said he could not find 200 million. The godfather paid for his son's education in Switzerland.

From minister to prisoner — in three months

In July 2025, Galushchenko was transferred from the Ministry of Energy to the Ministry of Justice. In November — searches and suspension. In February 2026 — detention and suspicion. The WACC Appeals Chamber upheld the court's decision. The person who managed justice now sits under investigation for money laundering and participation in a criminal organization.
