Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency announced Monday that it had uncovered a multimillion-dollar money laundering scheme, while local media reports said the investigation is connected to Volodymyr Zelenskyy's former aide Andriy Yermak.
The agencies did not name the official, in line with Ukrainian law, but local media widely identified him as Yermak, who resigned late last year amid a corruption scandal.
NABU said an "organized group" laundered "460 million hryvnias (8.8 million euros) through a luxury construction project near Kyiv," adding that one of the members was a "former head of the Office of the President of Ukraine."
Yermak – until late last year, Zelenskyy's closest aide and one of Ukraine's most powerful men – resigned in November 2025 after his home was raided by anti-corruption officers.
He had served as Zelensky's right-hand man throughout much of the Russian invasion. His downfall shook Kyiv's wartime political scene.
