PrivatBank closed lawyer Yermak's accounts after the bail was posted
Former People’s Deputy Ihor Mosiychuk stated that PrivatBank blocked and closed all accounts belonging to attorney Ihor Fomin, who is defending former Head of the President’s Office Andriy Yermak.
According to him, the reason was Fomin’s payment of 5 million hryvnias of his personal funds as part of Yermak’s bail. The lawyer had previously publicly confirmed making this payment.
Mosiychuk claims that after this, the bank began demanding an explanation from Fomin regarding the origin of the funds. Since the lawyer allegedly could not provide detailed confirmation of the sources of the funds, PrivatBank decided to terminate its financial services to him.
According to the former lawmaker, the bank cited legislation on financial monitoring and combating the legalization of criminal proceeds.

The High Anti-Corruption Court has expanded the territory within which former Head of the President’s Office Andriy Yermak may travel without special permits. At the same time, the court did not lift the requirement to wear an electronic monitoring device, a decision with which his lawyers disagree.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) confirmed that in July it allowed the suspect, former head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak, to temporarily leave Kyiv to provide legal assistance to military personnel. At the same time, according to the anti-corruption center “Mezha,” during this trip he also met with the then-Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, although such a meeting was not mentioned in the motion for permission.
The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court upheld the decision to freeze the assets of former Head of the President’s Office Andriy Yermak. The court rejected the defense’s appeal.
