Two more suspects in “Energoatom” case get preventive measures
The HIgh Anti-Corruption Court has imposed preventive measures on two more defendants in the case of large-scale corruption at Energoatom. Ihor Fursenko, who appears in NABU records under the pseudonym "Ryoshik", and Lesya Ustimenko, a participant in the money laundering back office, were placed in custody with the possibility of bail, according to the HACC broadcast.
According to the investigation, Lesya Ustimenko was involved in the legalization of funds from kickbacks for contracts for Energoatom in a back office in the center of Kyiv. The prosecutor's office claims that Ustimenko ensured the legalization of more than UAH 145 million.
Despite the request of the defense, the HACC decided to place Ustimenko in custody for 60 days with the possibility of posting bail in the amount of UAH 25 million.
Later, the court also chose a preventive measure for Igor Fursenko, a man with the pseudonym "Ryoshik", whom the investigation calls the chief accountant of the back office. According to the investigation, he was involved in financial transactions for money laundering. During the hearing, the prosecutor read a transcript, where Fursenko said that he got a job at the Fire Point missile manufacturing company in order to travel abroad without hindrance.
Fursenko was remanded in custody for 60 days with the possibility of posting bail of UAH 95 million. It should be noted that prosecutors demanded that bail be set at UAH 245 million.
We will remind, earlier the HACC imposed preventive measures on the former advisor to the Minister of Energy Ihor Myronyuk and the executive director for security of Energoatom Dmytro Basov.
