The share of ex-Minister of Ukraine Galushchenko in the Midas scheme amounted to about $12 million.

The share of the former Minister of Energy of Ukraine, German Galushchenko, in the investigation of the Midas case on money laundering amounted to about $12 million. This was reported on February 16 in the Telegram channel of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU).

According to the agency, the total amount of cash received by the criminal organization as a result of illegal activities in the energy sector exceeded $112 million. According to the NABU, the money was legalized through various financial instruments, including using cryptocurrencies and investing in the fund.

It is noted that more than $7.4 million was transferred to the fund's accounts, which were managed by the Galushchenko family. In addition, over 1.3 million Swiss francs (about $1.7 million) and 2.4 million euros (about $2.8 million) were given and transferred directly to the family in Switzerland.

The NABU added that part of the funds was used to pay for the education of children in prestigious educational institutions in Switzerland. Part of the money was placed in the accounts of Galushchenko's ex—wife, and the remaining funds were deposited, which allowed the family to receive additional income and use it for personal needs.
