Energoatom does not have the status of an injured party in the Midas case
The state-owned enterprise “NAEK Energoatom” does not have the status of an aggrieved party in the “Midas” criminal case. At the same time, according to Kryvonos, as of August 10, the investigation had established that more than $100 million had been transferred through a so-called “laundromat”—a back-office operation for money laundering.
This was stated by NABU Chairman Semen Kryvonos during his report on the first half of 2026.
“The pre-trial investigation is currently ongoing; we plan to complete it on schedule and make the case materials available to the individuals named in the notices of suspicion for their review. As for whether Energoatom is currently considered an aggrieved party: As far as I know, it does not currently have the status of an aggrieved party in the criminal proceedings. But I would like to emphasize once again that, according to the investigation, over 100 million hryvnias passed through the relevant money-laundering scheme,” Kryvonos said.
He added that significant progress has been made in the investigation, but declined to provide details, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.
Previously, NABU announced significant progress in the investigation of the Midas case.
In the first half of the year, as of August 10, courts handed down 55 guilty verdicts in cases investigated by NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO). Among those convicted are four high-ranking government officials, 11 heads of state-owned enterprises, as well as judges and prosecutors.
The level of corruption in Ukraine is not decreasing, and corruption among top officials, according to SAPO Head Oleksandr Klymenko, is even on the rise. He stated that the fight against bribery is hampered, in particular, by a lack of political will and a number of problems in the functioning of the anti-corruption system.
The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court has remanded one of the suspects in the “Midas” case, Ihor Myronyuk, into custody. Bail in the amount of 85 million hryvnias was set as an alternative to pretrial detention, but it has not yet been posted.
As a reminder, NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) announced new charges against a former Energoatom official in connection with the “Midas” case. According to “Suspilne,” citing case materials, the suspect is Dmytro Basov, the company’s former executive director for physical protection and security.
