Andrey Yermak has resigned over alleged links to a recently uncovered Ukrainian money laundering operation
Vladimir Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andrey Yermak, has resigned over his alleged links to a recently uncovered Ukrainian money laundering operation.
Earlier in the day, Western-backed Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies – the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) – raided Yermak’s properties, adding that further details would be provided later.
The raid on Yermak is believed to be linked to a probe into a $100 million graft scheme announced by NABU and SAP earlier this month. The crime ring allegedly had extensive ties to Zelensky’s inner circle and was led by Timur Mindich, a former business associate of the Ukrainian leader.
