$10.5 million Ukraine money laundering investigation: Andriy Yermak freed pending trial

Andriy Yermak has left pretrial detention, with bail equivalent to $3.2 million posted on his behalf. He formerly headed the Office of the President of Ukraine.

According to Ukraine’s state news agency UNIAN, citing the High Anti-Corruption Court, the decision is linked to ongoing proceedings. Yermak denies any wrongdoing.

He was taken into custody on May 14 in connection with an investigation into an alleged $10.5 million money-laundering scheme tied to the construction of a luxury residential complex near Kyiv.

The charges stem from a broader anti-corruption probe into alleged wartime kickbacks.
