Ukraine Charges Ex-Energy Minister in USD100M Graft Case
Galushchenko, who was dismissed in November 2025 amid the scandal, was arrested by anti-corruption agents while attempting to flee to Poland. He is suspected of transferring tens of millions of dollars on behalf of Zelensky’s alleged “bag man,” Timur Mindich, who escaped to Israel before authorities could apprehend him last year.
In a Monday statement, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) alleged that Galushchenko helped launder proceeds through a company registered in Anguilla, a known tax haven.
Investigators reported tracing payments from contractors of the state nuclear firm Energoatom to the criminal network. Funds were recorded as “investments” into the Anguilla company and later transferred into accounts belonging to Galushchenko’s ex-wife and four children.
Some of the money financed tuition at Swiss universities, while additional sums were deposited in banks to accrue interest for the family. Galushchenko reportedly divorced businesswoman Olga Bogdanova in 2022, which allowed him to exclude her income from mandatory financial disclosures.
