Ukraine's Court Eases Restrictions on Ex-Minister Charged in Major Corruption Case
The court kept reporting and travel limits in place for the former energy minister while rejecting electronic monitoring, as investigators probe a $112 million laundering case.
- The High Anti-Corruption Court extended procedural obligations for former Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko by two months, while refusing to extend his requirement to wear an electronic monitoring device.
- Prosecutors allege Halushchenko laundered over $112 million in the Midas case, prompting his arrest on February 17 while attempting to cross the state border, with bail set at 200 million hryvnias.
- Under these ongoing restrictions, Halushchenko must report to National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine detectives and Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor officials, surrender travel passports, and remain within Kyiv and the Kyiv region.
- While Halushchenko previously appealed his "unlawful detention," the High Anti-Corruption Court maintained custody orders; full reasoning will be published in the Unified State Register of Court Decisions.
- Media reports indicate the former minister will face formal charges upon his arrival in Kyiv as the Midas investigation proceeds.
