The HACC has convicted lawyer Oleksii Nosov (former partner at Miller Law Firm) for offering an unlawful benefit.

Nosov was charged with offering a $200,000 bribe to NABU detectives and SAPO prosecutors in exchange for transferring the case against his client — Alliance Bank board chair Yuliia Frolova — to another pre-trial investigation body. In exchange for the bribe, NABU detectives and SAPO prosecutors were to reclassify Frolova's actions, modify the suspicion notice, separate the proceedings, and refer them to the National Police by jurisdiction.

Frolova is a defendant in a case concerning the misappropriation of UAH 716 million in assets from Ukrenergo and the laundering of proceeds. According to the investigation, the scheme involved United Energy LLC, a company linked to Ihor Kolomoiskyi.

Nosov was detained while transferring the first tranche of the bribe — $100,000 — in a controlled delivery operation.

HACC found Nosov guilty under Article 369(3) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine for offering an unlawful benefit to SAPO officials. The sentence:

• 4.5 years' actual imprisonment;
• a 3-year ban on practising as a lawyer.

The court also applied special confiscation to the $100,000.

Miller Law Firm publicly severed ties with Nosov and dismissed him on June 12, 2024.
