Ex-Zelensky Aide Released After Posting Multi-Million-Dollar Bail
(MENAFN) Andrey Yermak, a former senior aide to Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, has been released from pre-trial detention after posting bail worth roughly $3.2 million, according to reports.
Yermak was seen leaving custody on Monday under security escort after Ukraine’s High Anti-Corruption Court confirmed that the full bail amount had been received. The payment followed charges filed against him last week in connection with a major money laundering investigation.
Reports noted that Yermak remained in detention over the weekend despite claims from opposition figures that the required funds had already been gathered by Friday. According to those accounts, administrative delays in processing the transfer prevented his immediate release.
The case is tied to a broader corruption investigation involving businessman Timur Mindich, who has been described in Ukrainian media as closely connected to Zelensky’s circle.
Investigators allege that Yermak participated in channeling illicit funds into a high-value real estate project near Kiev reportedly worth around $10 million. Media reports claim the development was linked to several prominent figures, including former Unity Minister Aleksey Chernyshov and Mindich, while speculation in some outlets suggested the possible involvement of another undisclosed partner.
The case has drawn significant public and political attention in Ukraine, with some commentators portraying Yermak’s detention as a sign of shifting dynamics within Zelensky’s political circle.
No final verdict has been reached, and the investigation remains ongoing.
