Bail posted for Midas case suspect Fursenko
For Igor Fursenko, who, according to the NABU and SAP, was a back-office employee of JSC NNEGC Energoatom in the case of businessman Timur Mindich about kickbacks, a bail of 95 million hryvnias was paid, after which he left the pre-trial detention center.
This was reported to Suspilny by his lawyer Petro Boyko.
According to the defense attorney, Fursenko was released under the obligations imposed on him: he must appear before the investigator and the court, wear an electronic bracelet, and surrender his passports. The lawyer added that the bail was paid in the amount set by the court, but he refused to comment on who exactly transferred the funds.
Journalists from the "Schemes" project, citing sources in law enforcement agencies, reported that bail was posted on November 24, and Fursenko was released from custody the next day. The suspect himself is not answering journalists' phone calls.
According to "Schemes", 95 million hryvnias were contributed by the private company "Varus Synergy", whose authorized capital is only 100 thousand hryvnias. The main activity of the company is wholesale trade in wood. The company was founded in Mariupol in 2019, and since 2022 its legal address has been changed to Kyiv.
The owner of the company is Bohdan Furkevych from Kamianets-Podilskyi. In the Getcontact service, his number appears under the names "Bohdan Rishalo Vid Andriyya", "Bohdan Police", and "Bohdan Voinkomat Kamianets". Journalists also did not receive an answer to calls to his number.
We also previously reported that Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov is not a suspect or accused in the case of the co-owner of "Quarter 95" Timur Mindich. Umerov was questioned by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) as a witness.
In addition, NABU and SAPO recently conducted searches at the home of the head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak. He confirmed that investigative actions are taking place at his home. The journalist is told that the searches may be conducted as part of Operation Midas, regarding embezzlement in the energy sector.
