Who paid 40 million in bail for Tenor in the Energoatom case: investigation.

According to ТСН: The funds to release Dmytro Vasov, who is involved in the investigation of the embezzlement of state funds in "Energoatom", were found quite quickly. On December 25, Christmas, he was released from custody after paying a bail of 40 million hryvnias. According to Vasov's lawyer, he was released after the money was deposited.

Mysterious sponsor: a 'ghost' company

The main part of the bail sum — 25 million UAH — was paid by the company LLC "Green Plus Company". Journalists uncovered several suspicions regarding this sponsor:

• The firm was registered in Kyiv just two months ago.

• The authorized capital is only 75 thousand UAH.

• The official activity is the trade of timber and building materials.

• A woman answers the contact number who knows nothing about the company; the director Marina Shevchenko avoids communication with the press.

Lawyer's generosity

The other part of the sum — 15 million hryvnias — was contributed by Vasov's lawyers:

• 10.3 million UAH — personal funds of lawyer Vitalii Naum.

• 4.7 million UAH — funds from the law firm he heads.

Vitalii Naum himself confirmed this in a comment, calling such actions a "common practice".

"This is our personal money from profits… We wanted Dmytro Mykolaiovych to meet Christmas with his family. And that's what happened," the lawyer stated.

He emphasized that the funds are "clean" and verified by the bank, and their client does not plan to escape.

"We acted as a guarantor before the pre-trial investigation body, and later — before the court. After the final decision in the case is made, this money will be returned to us. Currently, he is not obliged to return it but must fulfill procedural duties and adhere to the legal assistance agreement," Naum added.

It is worth noting that earlier, Vasov was assigned a preventive measure in the form of custody for 60 days with the possibility of posting bail of 40 million hryvnias.

On November 10, NABU published details of a large-scale corruption scheme in "Energoatom", uncovered during the "Midas" operation. According to the investigation, members of the criminal group systematically received large kickbacks from contracts, controlling the staffing, procurement, and financial flows of the enterprise.

According to NABU, the criminal group was headed by a figure known by the nickname "Carlson". MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak noted that this is businessman Timur Mindich, who coordinated influence over officials.

Thus, Vasov's quick release raised many questions regarding the sources of the bail funding and the possible involvement of structures that may be connected to corrupt schemes in this process. The ongoing investigation aims to uncover the whole picture of the case and bring those responsible to justice.
