UNIAN, Vyacheslav Ratinskyi The High Anti-Corruption Court changed the pretrial detention measure for the former head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak. Previously the ex-head of the OOP could not be away from Kyiv and Kyiv region without permission from a detective, prosecutor, and the court. Now this obligation has been expanded to seven additional regions. This is stated in a message from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office in Telegram.
In particular, 10 in August 2026 year 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, in the construction of a private cottage village near Kyiv, and changed the previously imposed procedural obligations on him.
"The prerequisite for the defense's petition to the court was the simultaneous arrival of a number of similarly worded letters from commanders of military units in the interests of the suspect," the message says.
In this regard, at the defense's request, the investigating judge "expanded the restrictions on the suspect's movement to a number of regions, the need to travel to which the suspect justified by his involvement in a project providing legal aid to servicemen." Thus, the obligation not to leave Kyiv city and Kyiv region without the permission of a detective, prosecutor, and court was replaced with the obligation not to leave outside Kyiv, Kyiv region, Dnipropetrovsk region, Donetsk region, Zaporizhzhia region, Mykolaiv region, Sumy region, Kharkiv region, and Kherson region, with transit allowed through other regions.
Meanwhile, the prosecutor opposed the motion, arguing that the obligations previously imposed on the suspect in connection with the application of the preventive measure did not hinder the realization of the project where he acts as a leader, not a lawyer who directly provides legal assistance.
Also the defense asked to remove the obligation for the suspect to wear an electronic monitoring device. In granting this request the investigating judge refused.
Yermak case — what is known.
As UNIAN reported, 10 in May the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office announced suspicion of Yermak as a participant in an organized group involved in laundering 460 millions of hryvnias at an elite construction near Kyiv.
14 in May the court arrested Yermak with the possibility of posting a bail of 140 million UAH. He was required to surrender foreign and diplomatic passports. He was also forbidden to communicate with defendants in the case, in particular with Tymur Mindič and Oleksiy Chernyshov.
18 in May it became known that Yermak was released from pre-trial detention. The full required bail amount was posted for him. 21 in May the court left unchanged the preventive measure decision for Yermak.
