The NABU and the SAPO have announced new charges in the case involving the laundering of 460 million hryvnias near Kyiv
The NABU and the SAPO have notified six more members of an organized group—which had previously been exposed in a case involving the laundering of assets obtained through criminal means on a particularly large scale—that they are under investigation. The case involves a money-laundering scheme involving approximately 460 million hryvnias linked to luxury real estate development in the suburbs of Kyiv.
This was reported by NABU.
According to the investigation, the suspects may have used a number of controlled companies and financial transactions to launder funds. The investigation into the case is ongoing.
• a former Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine;
• a businessman (one of the leaders of a criminal organization exposed in November 2025 as part of the “Midas” special operation);
• other individuals.
Between 2021 and 2025, the suspects laundered over 460 million hryvnias by building a cottage community in the village of Kozin, Kyiv Oblast.
This involved the construction, on land plots totaling approximately 8 hectares, of four private residences with auxiliary buildings and structures, as well as a separate communal residence—a spa area.
Part of the funds spent on construction were received through a so-called “laundromat” controlled by a businessman—the future owner of one of the residences. This amounts to nearly $9 million.
Yermakwas asked about the charges brought against him: here is what he said.
On May 11, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau officially confirmed that it had served a notice of suspicion on Andriy Yermak, the former head of the Office of the President. He is charged under Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine—legalization (laundering) of property obtained by criminal means by an organized group or in particularly large amounts (8 to 12 years with confiscation).
Prior to this, footage appeared online showing NABU agents intercepting Yermak near the Kyiv Sports Palace and presumably serving him with a notice of suspicion.
