HACC Appeals Chamber authorizes special pre-trial investigation into Shurma brothers in 'green' tariff case
The Appeals Chamber (AC) of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) has authorized a special pre-trial investigation into three individuals in a case involving alleged abuse of the "green" tariff.
The High Anti-Corruption Court's (HACC) Appeals Chamber has authorized a special pre-trial investigation into three individuals accused of abusing Ukraine's green tariff system. The court announced the decision on August 18, 2026, overturning a previous ruling that denied the investigation. The suspects are suspected of organizing the seizure and laundering of large sums of money, as well as concealing the illicit origin of these funds.
Rostyslav Shurma and his brother Oleh Shurma, both former officials, are among those targeted, as are several other individuals involved in the green tariff case. The HACC Appeals Chamber deemed the earlier decision to deny the investigation as illegal and politically motivated, stating it violated proper legal procedures. The case involves nine suspects in total, including former officials from Ukraine's Presidential Office and Naftogaz of Ukraine, as well as managers and employees of controlled companies.
