A pledge of $2.2 million was made for Fursenko, a participant in the corruption schemes of Energoatom

A bail of 95 million hryvnias (more than $2.2 million) was paid for Igor Fursenko, the "black accountant" of the Ukrainian company Energoatom, who participated in corruption schemes. This was reported on November 27 by the Ukrainian edition of "Public" in the Telegram channel.

"Fursenko was the executive director for security at Energoatom and, according to the investigation, served as a back-office accountant for money laundering in a scheme of embezzlement at a state—owned enterprise," the publication says.

It is noteworthy that the amount of the deposit was paid by the private company Varus Synergy, whose authorized capital is only 100 thousand hryvnias ($2.3 thousand). The company listed "wholesale timber trade" as its main activity.
