Overview
- Yermak, the former chief of the presidential office, was notified he is a suspect and faced searches Monday, with photos and video showing him in a car with a special anti‑corruption prosecutor.
- Prosecutors said they will ask a court to jail him, with 180 million hryvnias offered as alternative bail.
- NABU and the anti‑corruption prosecutor’s office named six more suspects, including ex–vice premier Oleksiy Chernyshov and a prominent businessman widely identified as Timur Mindich.
- Investigators say about 460 million hryvnias flowed through a Kozyn housing cooperative for the Dynastiya complex using fake firms and a cash “laundry” tied to alleged schemes at state nuclear company Energoatom.
- Evidence cited in the case includes intercepted calls known as the “Mindich tapes,” and Yermak and his lawyer dispute the claims, with Yermak saying he owns only one apartment and one car.
