‎A former energy minister in Ukraine has been detained while attempting to leave the country
‎German Galushchenko, who was forced out of his government role last year after being among officials named in a corruption scandal, was reportedly apprehended on Sunday while on a train leaving Ukraine.
‎According to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (Nabu), it is unclear where he intended to travel to.
‎He was one of several government figures implicated in an alleged $100m (£75m) embezzlement scheme in November.
‎The scandal threatened to engulf Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s administration, which swept to power before Russia’s full-scale invasion on the promise to root out corruption.
