KYIV, Nov 12 (Reuters) – Ukraine’s government has suspended Justice Minister German Galushchenko, the prime minister said on Wednesday, amid an investigation into corruption in the energy sector.
Galushchenko, who had previously served as energy minister, was the subject of investigative actions, his ministry said on Tuesday.
It did not specify whether this was in relation to the energy corruption case investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU).
Galushchenko’s voice was captured in a recorded conversation with some of the suspects in the case released by NABU, according to a source familiar with the matter.
