Then we will continue tomorrow at 8:30 AM
When asked by journalists, Myroniuk replied that he "has nothing to do with either Energoatom or the Ministry of Energy," and regarding his ties with Halushchenko, "he is my lawyer."
Addition
The investigation suspects Myroniuk and Basov of illicit enrichment and money laundering.
Halushchenko and Myroniuk were able to freely use the services of a criminal organization to legalize funds accumulated by Myroniuk from criminal activities in the energy sector of Ukraine
The tapes published by NABU and SAP recorded the voices of the following defendants in the case:
"Carlson" - Timur Mindich, businessman, film producer, co-owner of Studio "Kvartal 95";
"Professor" - Herman Halushchenko, former Minister of Energy and current Minister of Justice of Ukraine;
"Tenor" - Dmytro Basov (Miaskovsky), former employee of the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine, who investigated the murder of journalist Georgiy Gongadze in 2000 and was part of the group investigating the shootings of the Heavenly Hundred and economic crimes of the fugitive ex-president Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Basov then became the head of the physical protection and special security unit of NNEGC "Energoatom";
"Rocket" - Ihor Myroniuk, advisor to Herman Halushchenko and assistant to the traitor of Ukraine Andriy Derkach (son of the late ex-head of the SBU Leonid Derkach, former People's Deputy of Ukraine and current senator of the Russian Federation – ed.).
Recall
On November 10, NABU and SAP conducted searches amid the exposure of a corruption scheme influencing strategic enterprises in the state sector, particularly JSC "NNEGC "Energoatom". This concerns the alleged systematic receipt of undue benefits from "Energoatom" counterparties in the amount of 10 to 15% of the contract value.
Former Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Oleksiy Chernyshov was notified of suspicion of illicit enrichment.
