More about the case

As a reminder, Roman Nasirov is a defendant in the so-called "Onishchenko gas scheme," in connection with which a case was opened against him back in 2017.
At that time, the case was taken up by the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv, where, over the course of two years, they were unable to even read out the indictment.
In September 2019, the case was transferred to the High Anti-Corruption Court. It was heard there for over six years. During that time, more than 200 court hearings were scheduled.
Nasirov had previously denied his guilt.
In late October 2025, Nasirov was found guilty of making illegal decisions in favor of companies owned by former MP Oleksandr Onyshchenko and sentenced to six years in prison.
