The investigating judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) has approved the detention of another suspect in Ukraine’s energy sector corruption case. The decision, made at the request of National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) detectives, was authorized by the Specialized Anti-corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) prosecutor. The suspect, an employee of the money laundering back office, faces detention or an alternative bail option of UAH 95 million.
This development comes as part of an ongoing investigation into corruption and money laundering allegations in the energy sector. The HACC and NAB, along with SAPO, have been working closely to unravel the web of illegal activities that have allegedly affected Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and public finances. The case is part of a broader effort to strengthen anti-corruption measures in the country and ensure transparency in critical sectors like energy.
