Andriy Yermak, the former chief of staff to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, may soon be released from pretrial detention after the equivalent of $3.2 million bail was posted on his behalf, according to Ukraine’s state news agency UNIAN reported which cited the High Anti-Corruption Court.
Yermak, who has denied any wrongdoing, was jailed on May 14 pending an investigation into a $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.
