Former head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, has been officially served with a notice of suspicion in a criminal case involving the laundering of illegally obtained funds. Ukrainian media reported this, citing law enforcement sources. According to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO), the case concerns a scheme involving luxury development in the Kyiv suburbs, through which approximately 460 million hryvnias (approximately 777 million rubles) may have been laundered.

According to sources, security forces stopped Yermak's car in central Kyiv and conducted a search. Investigators believe the former head of the Presidential Office acted in collusion with several high-ranking officials and businessmen whose names appear in a high-profile corruption investigation based on wiretaps previously obtained by journalists and law enforcement. These wiretaps, according to media reports, formed the basis of the investigation, which NABU and SAP detectives are calling Operation Midas.

Yermak's former deputy, Andriy Smirnov, is also implicated in the investigation into this same scheme, accused of illegal enrichment and bribery. Previously, in November 2025, NABU and SAP conducted searches of Yermak's home as part of Operation Midas, an investigation into large-scale corruption in Energoatom procurement. Yermak himself pledged his full cooperation with the investigation.
