The Supreme Court of Justice reviewed the bail of one of the defendants in the Energoatom embezzlement case
The High Anti-Corruption Court (VAKS) has remanded in custody a former advisor to the ex-energy minister who is a suspect in a case involving alleged embezzlement at Energoatom. At the same time, the court reduced the bail amount from 112 to 85 million hryvnias. The individual in question is Ihor Myronyuk, who is linked to the case being investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO).
The High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine reviewed the pretrial measure in the case involving alleged embezzlement at Energoatom. The suspect was kept in custody, but the bail amount was reduced. According to the Anti-Corruption Action Center, the individual in question is Ihor Myronyuk—a former advisor to the ex-Minister of Energy. The court did not officially name him, but the case materials make it possible to identify him.
The court ruled to keep Myronyuk in custody for another 60 days. At the same time, the bail was reduced from 112 million hryvnias to 85 million hryvnias. “Initially, the High Anti-Corruption Court remanded Igor Myronyuk in custody with the alternative of bail set at 126 million hryvnias,” the case materials state.
The situation subsequently changed several times. Following an appeal filed by the defense, the decision was upheld, but by the end of April 2026, the bail amount was reduced to 112 million hryvnias. The case also involves former Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko, who is suspected of involvement in possible embezzlement at Energoatom as part of the NABU and SAPO “Midas” operation. “On June 12, the High Anti-Corruption Court extended the detention of former Minister of Energy and Justice Herman Galushchenko but reduced the bail in the case involving embezzlement at Energoatom,” the statement reads.
The investigation into the case is ongoing, and court decisions regarding preventive measures are periodically reviewed depending on the circumstances of the proceedings. This was reported by the Anti-Corruption Action Center. This was reported by the Anti-Corruption Action Center.
Oleksandr Zuckerman, a defendant in the high-profile “Midas” case, filed a lawsuit against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with the Administrative Court of Cassation.
On May 11, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau officially confirmed that a notice of suspicion had been served on Andriy Yermak, the former head of the Office of the President. He is charged under Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine—legalization (laundering) of property obtained by criminal means by an organized group or on an especially large scale (punishable by 8 to 12 years in prison with confiscation).
Prior to this, footage appeared online showing NABU agents intercepting Yermak near the Kyiv Sports Palace and presumably serving him with the notice of suspicion.
Earlier, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine commented on reports of a possible indictment against former Head of the President’s Office Andriy Yermak, emphasizing that such procedural decisions are not announced in advance and are based solely on the evidence gathered. The agency emphasized that any formal notice of suspicion can be served only after it has been duly substantiated by the investigation. At the same time, they noted that all investigative actions are conducted within the law and under court supervision.
In early February, UP journalist Mykhailo Tkach tracked down Andriy Yermak and investigated the contacts of the country’s former second-in-command. The investigation confirmed that the “vice president” had only publicly distanced himself from the head of state, but not from his affairs. The article “The Godfather ‘on the Sidelines’” suggests that Yermak continues to wield influence, particularly through his associates who remain in high-ranking positions. He has also set up his new office on Horodetskyi Street, near the government quarter.
