Antes de la detención de Yermak este jueves, hubo un pico de interés por el caso de la "Operación Midas" a raíz de la difusión de la transcripción de una supuesta llamada en la que Mindich habla sobre los acontecimientos en Kiev.
El antiguo jefe de la oficina presidencial y 'mano derecha' del presidente, Volodimir Zelenski, Andri Yermak, acusado de estar involucrado en un escándalo de lavado de dinero.

Overview

  • The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court ordered preventive custody for Andriy Yermak and set bail at 140 million hryvnias, with a 60-day term if the money is not posted.
  • Yermak said he cannot afford the sum and insists he is innocent, and the court said any release would bring a travel ban, passport surrender, and an ankle monitor.
  • NABU and the anti-corruption prosecutor allege a group laundered about 460 million hryvnias through the Dinastiya luxury complex near Kyiv using illegal commissions tied to the state nuclear energy consortium.
  • Prosecutors link the network to businessman Timur Mindich and former vice prime minister Oleksiy Chernyshov, and Ukrainian media report that Mindich fled to Israel.
  • Officials say President Volodymyr Zelensky is not a suspect under laws that shield a sitting head of state, even as leaked intercepts naming “Vova” and “Andriy” have fueled public scrutiny.
