Suspilny’s source in the law enforcement agencies noted that during the questioning of Galushchenko, “the status of the criminal proceedings regarding embezzlement at Energoatom may appear.”
On November 19, the Verkhovna Rada dismissed the Ministers of Energy and Justice Svitlana Grynchuk and Herman Galushchenko. Both then did not come to the parliament session.
Earlier, Galushchenko, commenting on the minister’s suspension from his duties, said that he “does not hold on to the minister’s position” and believes that “suspension for the duration of the investigation is a civilized and correct scenario.”
On November 10, NABU announced the disclosure of the activities of a criminal organization, the main focus of which was “systematic obtaining of illegal benefits from Energoatom’s counterparties in the amount of 10% to 15% of the value of contracts.” NABU claims that funds were legalized through a back office in the center of Kyiv, through which about 100 million dollars passed. According to the investigation, the premises of this office “belonged to the family of former People’s Deputy and now Russian Senator Andrii Derkach, accused by NABU and SAP in other criminal proceedings.”
