The HACC changed Andriy Yermak’s preventive measure obligations, allowing him to travel throughout Ukraine. He remains a suspect in the legalization of UAH 460 million.
The investigating judge of the HACC eased the preventive measure applied to former Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak, who is suspected of laundering property obtained through criminal means, allowing him to travel throughout Ukraine. This was reported by the SAPO press service, according to UNN.
On November 10, 2026, the investigating judge partially granted the SAPO prosecutor’s motion to extend the term of the obligations imposed on the former Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, who is suspected of laundering property obtained through criminal means in the construction of a private cottage settlement near Kyiv
By its decision, the court amended the procedural obligation previously imposed on him not to leave, without permission, the city of Kyiv, the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson regions, with the possibility of transiting through other regions.
The suspect’s defense lawyers objected to granting the motion, drawing the court’s attention to his participation in a project of the National Bar Association of Ukraine. The prosecutor, in turn, stated that the imposed obligations did not hinder the implementation of the project, in which the suspect serves as its head, rather than as one of the more than 60 (according to the defense) lawyers who directly provide legal assistance.
Following consideration of the motion, the investigating judge partially granted the prosecutor’s motion, extended the term of the obligations imposed on the suspect and amended one of them, allowing him to travel throughout Ukraine
