Andriy Yermak, who served as the head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine until November 2022, is under investigation by Ukrainian anti-corruption authorities for allegedly being part of a group involved in laundering several million euros. These allegations have been raised by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP).
Investigators report that the organized group is believed to be involved in the laundering of nearly nine million euros, linked to a luxury construction project near Kyiv. Yermak is specifically accused of belonging to this group.
Yermak resigned from his position in November 2022 after corruption allegations surfaced against him. He was a long-time confidant of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and had led the Presidential Office since 2020, where he was regarded as one of the country's most influential politicians.
The current allegations cast a shadow over the Ukrainian government, which is seeking international support amid the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. Corruption remains a central issue hindering reform efforts and the fight against misconduct in Ukraine.
