Zelensky's former second-in-command, Yermak, charged in major corruption probe

"President Volodymyr Zelensky's former chief of staff has been charged with money laundering tied to the construction of a luxury residential compound outside Kyiv, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) said in a statement.

Although not named in SAPO's statement, the chief of staff in question is Andriy Yermak, a source in law enforcement familiar with the case told the Kyiv Independent.
Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) allege that more than Hr 460 million ($8.9 million) was funneled through the project over several years using a network of shell companies, cash transactions, and fictitious financial documents.
Law enforcement alleges that the group planned to construct four private mansions, each roughly 1,000 square meters in size, along with a shared wellness complex featuring a spa and swimming pool. The estimated cost of each residence exceeded millions of dollars." KI
