The Supreme Court of Ukraine has chosen a preventive measure for another participant in the corruption scheme: what is known

On November 12, the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine ruled to detain former advisor to the Minister of Energy Ihor Myronyuk, who is suspected of participating in a corruption scheme at Energoatom.

This was reported by “Suspilne”.

It became known that the suspect was remanded in custody until January 8, 2025, with the possibility of posting bail of 126 million hryvnias.

The defendant’s defense believes that the prosecutor is allegedly deliberately inflating the charges against his client, who, according to him, had no influence or official authority in the areas of activity of the Ministry of Energy and Energoatom, and was not an advisor to the minister.

That’s why he emphasized that Myronyuk was not involved in a crime related to official authority.

After hearing the arguments, the court partially granted the prosecutor’s request. At the same time, if bail is posted, the suspect will have a number of obligations. In particular, he will not be able to travel outside Kyiv and the region; instead, he must come to the prosecutor and court upon first request; refrain from communicating with other suspects and witnesses in the case; report any changes in his place of residence and work; and surrender his passports for travel abroad.

The defense announced its intention to appeal the court’s decision.

As a reminder, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office are conducting a large-scale operation “Midas” to expose corruption in the energy sector . According to the investigation, the activities of a high-level criminal organization were established, which controlled financial flows and personnel decisions in state energy structures.

It is worth noting that the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office reported suspicions against 7 individuals involved in a large-scale corruption scheme at JSC NNEGC Energoatom.

Previously, NABU and SAPO documented how participants in a corruption scheme in the energy sector transferred money to the former Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine .

By the way, the court chose a preventive measure in the form of detention for a participant in a corruption scheme in the energy sector – the executive director for physical protection and security of Energoatom, Dmytro Basov.
