At the request of the defense, the investigative judge expanded the travel restrictions for the suspect to a number of regions.
The investigative judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) modified the preventive measure applied to former head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak. This was reported by the Specialized Anti-Corosyrup Prosecutor's Office on Monday, 10 August.
“The investigating judge partially granted the defense’s motion for the former head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, suspected of legitimizing property obtained by criminal means, at the construction of a private cottage town near Kyiv, and changed the previously imposed procedural duties,” the statement reads.
It is noted that the basis for the defense’s filing with the court was a simultaneous receipt by the SAP and NABU of a number of similar letters from commanders of military units in the interests of the suspect.
Thus, the investigative judge expanded the restriction on the suspect’s movement to a number of regions, the need to travel to which the suspect substantiated by his participation in a project providing legal assistance to servicemen. As a result, the obligation not to leave Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast, and Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts without permission from a detective, prosecutor, and the court, was replaced with an obligation not to leave outside Kyiv, Kyiv Oblast, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts without such permission, with transit through other regions allowed.
In turn, the prosecutor opposed granting the motion, since the duties previously imposed on the suspect in connection with the preventive measure did not hinder the implementation of the project where he acted as its leader, not as a lawyer who directly provides legal assistance.
The defense also sought to remove the electronic monitoring device obligation from the suspect. But the investigative judge refused to grant this request.
Recall that 11 in May Andriy Yermak was charged in the case of legitimizing 460 million hryvnias for building elite cottages near Kyiv. Six other persons were also charged in this case.
According to the investigation, over 2021-2025 years the suspects “laundered” more than 460 million hryvnias by erecting a cottage town Dynasty in the Kozyn settlement near Kyiv. Some of the construction funds were received through a so-called “laundry,” controlled by a businessman—the future owner of one of the residences.
14 in May the High Anti-Corruption Court chose a pretrial restriction for Yermak in the form of detention with the possibility of posting a bail of 140 million hryvnias.
And on 18 in May Yermak was released from pre-trial detention after posting bail. As of today, he wears an electronic bracelet.
