Professor Sigismund: How Halushchenko siphoned over 425 million via offshore companies The High Anti-Corruption Court has arrested former energy minister Herman Halushchenko, allowing him to be released on bail set at UAH 200 million. On Sunday, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) effectively removed the former minister from a train and subsequently served him with a notice of suspicion of money laundering. According to NABU, in February 2021, on the island of Anguilla (a self-governing British Overseas Territory), a fund was registered at the initiative of members of the criminal organisation in the "Midas" case, which was supposed to attract about $100 million in "investments". One of the investors in this fund turned out to be the family of Minister Halushchenko (his ex-wife and children). Investigators say that during Halushchenko’s time in office, through his trusted associate known as "Rocket" (former adviser to the energy minister Ihor Myroniuk – ed.), the criminal organisation received more than $112 million in cash from unlawful activities in the energy sector. 12 907 36 Previously in trend: Halushchenko case
