Ihor Myroniuk, the last defendant in the Midas case, released from custody

Change of preventive measure for former advisor

The Higher Anti-Corruption Court (HAC) ruled to place Ihor Myroniuk, also known as Rocket, under round-the-clock house arrest. He held the position of advisor to the Minister of Energy.

This ruling marked the final note in the detention of suspects in prison: Myroniuk left the walls of the pre-trial detention centre.

Duration of imprisonment

In total, Ihor Myroniuk spent nearly a year in places incompatible with freedom. His release from the pre-trial detention centre means he was the last defendant to leave prison within this investigation.

Context of the investigation

The "Midas" case (also known as the "Mindich case") concerns large-scale embezzlement of funds in the energy sector. Myroniuk's release under house arrest closes the stage of detaining suspects in pre-trial detention centres in this criminal story.
