Prosecutors Seek Detention for Ex–Top Aide Yermak in UAH 460 Million Laundering Case

The case signals a new test of Ukraine’s graft watchdogs through the 'Midas' Energoatom probe.

Overview

  • Anti-corruption bodies served Andrii Yermak a notice of suspicion, an early formal charge, for allegedly laundering UAH 460 million through the Dynasty luxury housing project near Kyiv.
  • Prosecutors said they will ask a court to hold him in custody with an option for UAH 180 million bail.
  • Investigators link the money flows to alleged corruption at state nuclear company Energoatom under a wider operation called Midas.
  • Detectives also notified six alleged group members and outlined Bloom Development’s role, which NABU ties to former official Oleksii Chernyshov.
  • Andrii Yermak denied owning mansions and offered no further comment, while President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has not publicly addressed the new charges after accepting Yermak’s resignation following searches last November.
