NABU and SAPO have announced suspicion of Andriy Yermak in the case of laundering 460 million UAH during the construction of the “Dynasty”

The investigation believes that almost $9 million could have been legalized through an elite cottage town near Kyiv

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office reported suspicions to the former head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak, in the case of legalization of property obtained by criminal means.

According to the investigation, more than 460 million hryvnias could have been laundered through the construction of the elite cottage town “Dynasty” in Kozyn, Kyiv region.

Chernyshov, Mindich and other participants appear in the case

The NABU stated that the scheme had been operating since 2018. Among the persons involved in the investigation are former Minister of Community and Territorial Development Oleksiy Chernyshov, businessman Timur Mindich and other individuals.

In the materials of the proceedings, the participants in the scheme appear under the code names “Che Guevara”, “Carlson” and R2. According to the investigation, it was under the designation R2 that Andriy Yermak passed.

He is charged with Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – legalization of property obtained by crime.

How the scheme worked

According to detectives, in 2019, the BLOOM Development company purchased more than 4 hectares of land in Kozyn, which became the basis for the future construction of an elite town.

Later, four private residences with an area of ​​​​about 1,000 square meters each were planned to be built on the territory. The approximate cost of one house reached $ 2 million.

The project also provided for the construction of a separate common estate with a SPA zone, swimming pool and gym.

NABU: the main financing was carried out in cash

Investigators claim that the construction was financed in two ways.

Part of the funds came officially through the housing and construction cooperative “Sunny Beach”. At the same time, according to the investigation, the main amount of financing was carried out with cash obtained through criminal means.

According to NABU, the funds were transferred through trusted persons of the scheme participants and were used to pay for construction work.

Construction continued even after the start of a full-scale war

The Bureau emphasizes that work on the site did not stop even after the start of a full-scale Russian invasion in 2022.

According to the investigation, in July 2025, after public information about the investigation appeared, the scheme participants tried to preserve the construction and secure the assets from seizure.

However, the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court granted the NABU and SAPO petitions and imposed an arrest on land plots and unfinished construction sites in Kozyn.

The Midas case and searches at Yermak’s home

As a reminder, on November 28, 2025, detectives from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine searched the home of the then head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak.

The investigative actions were carried out as part of the high-profile Midas investigation, which concerns a large-scale corruption scheme in Ukraine’s energy sector.
