A pre-trial measure has been imposed on Andriy Yermak: detention for a period of 60 days, with bail set at 140 million hryvnias.
The court has imposed a preventive measure
The High Anti-Corruption Court considered a motion to impose a preventive measure on Andriy Yermak, the former head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.
Judge Viktor Nogachevsky partially granted the motion filed by prosecutors from the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
The court imposed a preventive measure on Andriy Yermak in the form of detention, with an alternative bail of 140 million hryvnias.
Earlier, Andriy Yermak was officially notified of his status as a suspect under Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which concerns the legalisation of funds obtained by criminal means.
The penalty under this article provides for imprisonment for a term of eight to twelve years, with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to three years, and confiscation of property.
What is known about the “Dynasty” case
The Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed that the former head of the President’s Office has become a suspect in a case concerning the construction of luxury property near Kyiv.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine stated that NABU and the SAPO had exposed an organised group involved in the laundering of over 460 million hryvnias during the construction of luxury properties in the Kyiv suburbs.
“One of its members — the former head of the Office of the President of Ukraine — has been notified of the suspicion. Charge: Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Urgent investigative measures are ongoing,” the NABU noted.
The bureau also reported that the case concerns a money-laundering scheme during the construction of holiday homes in the capital’s suburbs.
According to NABU, members of the “Dynasty” laundered over 460 million hryvnias during the construction of the residence.
Following the public disclosure of information about the construction of the residence, the owners attempted to remove land plots and unfinished construction sites in Kozyn from potential seizure.
During the investigation, the High Anti-Corruption Court granted the request of NABU and the SAPO and seized the land plots and five unfinished construction sites.
What preceded the case
On 28 November 2025, NABU carried out investigative actions against the then Head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak, as part of Operation Midas.
On the same day, Andriy Yermak submitted his resignation, after which the President signed a decree dismissing him.
Later, the publication Ukrainska Pravda reported that the warrant for the searches was dated 21 November, whilst the investigative actions themselves took place on 28 November.
NABU Director Semen Kryvonos stated at the time that Andriy Yermak had not been notified of any suspicion, and that the investigation was proceeding within the law.
In January 2026, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, in response to a request from MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak, reported that Andriy Yermak had not approached the territorial recruitment and social support centres regarding military service.
Andriy Yermak has also regained his right to practise as a lawyer.
In April, “Ukrainska Pravda” reported that businessman Timur Mindich and Andriy Yermak had been summoned to the High Anti-Corruption Court in a case concerning the seizure of property following searches in Kyiv, but they did not appear at the hearing.
