Ukraine’s Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) will request a $9.86 million bail as a preventive measure for former Energy Minister and ex–Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko.
SAPO spokeswoman Olha Postoliuk told this to RBC-Ukraine.
According to Ukrinform, the court has received a motion to impose a preventive measure on Halushchenko. The time of the hearing has not yet been set.
The former Ukrainian energy minister was detained on the night of February 15. Halushchenko was removed from a train traveling from Kyiv to Warsaw.
On February 16, the ex-minister was charged with money laundering and participation in a criminal organization in a case involving businessman Tymur Mindych, described as a former business partner of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Investigators believe Halushchenko helped Mindych’s group siphon off $112 million from the company Energoatom for subsequent laundering.
