Yermak’s pretrial restrictions amended: allowed to travel throughout Ukraine

Yermak has been granted permission to travel throughout Ukraine: court ruling

The preventive measure imposed on Andriy Yermak, former Head of the President’s Office, has been partially amended.

This was reported by the press service of the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, according to Censor.NET.

Details

"On 10 November 2026, an investigating judge partially granted a SAPO prosecutor’s motion to extend the obligations imposed on the former Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, who is suspected of laundering criminally obtained assets in connection with the construction of a private cottage development near Kyiv," the statement reads.

What has changed?

A High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) judge amended the procedural obligation previously imposed on him not to travel without permission beyond Kyiv and the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson regions, with transit through other regions permitted.

Yermak’s defence opposed the motion, drawing the court’s attention to his involvement in a Ukrainian National Bar Association project.

"The prosecutor, however, noted that the obligations imposed do not hinder the implementation of the project, in which the suspect serves as its head rather than as one of more than 60 (according to the defence) lawyers who directly provide legal assistance.

Following consideration of the motion, the investigating judge partially granted the prosecutor’s motion, extended the obligations imposed on the suspect and amended one of them, allowing him to travel throughout Ukraine," the prosecutor’s office said.

Earlier, the court did not extend the requirement for Yermak to wear an electronic monitoring device.

Suspicion against Yermak in the Dynasty case

As a reminder, on the evening of 11 May, NABU and SAPO served a notice of suspicion on former Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak. According to the investigation, more than UAH 460 million was legalised from 2021 to 2025 through a scheme involving the Dynasty cooperative.
NABU said the participants in the Dynasty project agreed to build four private residences on the land plots for personal use. Each house had an area of about 1,000 square metres, and each was worth about US$2 million. The houses were referred to as R1, R2, R3, and R4. They also agreed to build a shared estate, R0, with a spa area, a swimming pool, and a gym.
The main part of the construction was financed with funds obtained by criminal means. Persons controlled by Oleksii Chernyshov also created a front company for this purpose, which placed orders.
After the start of the full-scale invasion, the construction did not stop and even continued more actively. Chernyshov demanded that the builders work faster and in several shifts. Yermak oversaw the construction of his residence.
After media publications about Dynasty, the owners of the residences tried to remove the land and real estate from possible seizure. However, the High Anti-Corruption Court seized the land plots and five unfinished Dynasty properties. NABU and SAPO also inspected the cottage estate.
Commenting on the suspicion, the Office of the President said procedural actions were still ongoing, so it was too early to make any assessments.
Yermak’s lawyer, Ihor Fomin, also said the suspicion was unfounded.
Yermak refused to comment on the suspicion and said he had no houses, only an apartment and a car.
It is known that the High Anti-Corruption Court has seized the land plots and unfinished Dynasty properties.
Yermak has linked the notice of suspicion served on him by NABU to "public pressure on law enforcement agencies".
On May 14, a preventive measure was chosen for Yermak: he was remanded in custody with bail set at UAH 140 million.
On May 18, Yermak was released from the pre-trial detention center.
