National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine Names Andrii Yermak as Suspect in Money Laundering Investigation

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecution Office (SAP) have announced the exposure of an organized criminal group involved in the legalization of illegal income.

A former head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andrii Yermak, has been identified as a suspect in the case on May 11.

According to the official investigation, the group is allegedly involved in the laundering of ₴460M ($11.2M). These funds were reportedly processed through schemes related to elite construction projects in the Kyiv region.

The actions of those involved have been classified under Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which covers the legalization of property obtained by criminal means when committed by an organized group in a particularly large size.

Law enforcement agencies are currently conducting urgent investigative measures to establish all the circumstances of the crime. They are also working to identify other individuals who may be involved in these financial manipulations. Anti-corruption authorities intend to release video materials soon that will provide a more detailed look at how the scheme operated.
