On November 24, bail was posted for Ihor Fursenko, a defendant in the “Midas” case, and he was released from custody the following day. This was reported by journalists from Schemes, with the information confirmed by Fursenko’s lawyer, Petro Boiko. As a result, procedural obligations are now imposed on him to ensure proper conduct, including wearing an electronic bracelet.

According to the investigation, Fursenko acted as the accountant of the “money-laundering back office.” In the case materials, he is mentioned under the alias “Rioshyk.”

The HACC had ordered his detention with an alternative bail of UAH 95 million. The HACC Appeals Chamber upheld the bail amount the following day without changes. According to Schemes, the bail was posted by a private company with a charter capital of UAH 100,000 — Varus Synergy. 

As reported earlier, the NABU and the SAPO uncovered the activities of a criminal organization that included current and former officials, including in the energy sector. According to the prosecution, its members built a large-scale corruption scheme aimed at exerting influence over the operations of strategic state-owned enterprises — most notably, Energoatom — obtaining unlawful benefits and laundering proceeds of crime.
