On May 20, 2025, the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court overturned the conviction under which Oleksandr Onyshchenko—a member of the Ukrainian Parliament of the 7th convocation — had been sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
The case has been remanded for a new trial in the court of first instance.
This concerns the so-called “gas case”—one of the most high-profile cases in the history of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), involving the alleged misappropriation of over 740 million hryvnias from JSC “Ukrgazvydobuvannya” in 2014–2016 under joint activity agreements.
The case is being handled by CEO and Barristers partner Oleksandr Tananakin and attorney Yevhen Bovkun
