According to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, the investigation believes that an organized group could have laundered about 460 million hryvnias (about 10.46 million dollars). Yermak, according to law enforcement sources, is one of the participants in this case.
The suspicion has been announced under Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — legalization of property obtained by criminal means. The article provides for 8 to 12 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
On May 11, NABU and SAP employees carried out urgent investigative actions against Yermak. Officially, the details are not yet being disclosed.
Previously, Yermak's name had already been mentioned in connection with the so-called 'Midas' case, which concerns a corruption scheme in 'Energoatom'. The investigation claims that the participants in the scheme demanded a kickback of 10-15% of the contract sums. Media also reported that Yermak allegedly appeared in the investigation materials under the pseudonyms Ali Baba and Surgeon.
