HAC places former energy minister's advisor under 24-hour house arrest

Change in detention conditions for former advisor

The High Anti-Corruption Court (HAC) ruled on changing the preventive measure for Ihor Myroniuk, who previously held the position of advisor to the energy minister. The investigating judge supported the motion and placed the suspect under 24-hour house arrest.

Reasons for the decision and control conditions

According to Transparency International Ukraine, this decision was made due to the expiry of the maximum period of detention in custody at the pre-trial investigation stage. Myroniuk spent the longest time behind bars among all defendants in the case — nearly a year.

The current obligations for the former advisor require him to stay at home and wear an electronic bracelet for monitoring.

Chronology of court decisions

Previously, on 13 October, the court kept Myroniuk in custody but significantly reduced the bail amount: from 85 million hryvnia to 25 million hryvnia.
