Former Ukrainian energy minister and former justice minister, Herman Halushchenko, who resigned last November amid a large-scale corruption scandal, was detained on Sunday while trying to cross the Ukrainian border, according to a statement by the country's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU).
"Today during the crossing of the state border, NABU detectives detained the former minister of energy in the framework of the case 'Midas'," said the statement.
