The bail for former Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak is still being collected, with sources reporting that less than half of the required amount has been raised so far.
At the same time, it has been confirmed that former Ukraine national team coach Serhii Rebrov contributed 30 million UAH toward the bail.
The bail funds are deposited into a special court account opened by the State Treasury Service of Ukraine and assigned to the relevant court — in this case, the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC). Prosecutors had requested a preventive measure of detention with the possibility of release on a 180 million UAH bail. However, the court set the bail amount at 140 million UAH.
The case concerns allegations in the “Dynasty” investigation. According to investigators, in 2020 former Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov initiated the construction of an elite residential complex near Kyiv using illegally obtained funds. The scheme allegedly involved businessman Timur Mindich and Andriy Yermak. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) stated that between 2021 and 2025, the participants in the scheme laundered approximately $8.9 million.
On Thursday, May 14, the court ordered Yermak into custody for 60 days, with the option of release on bail set at 140 million UAH.
Yermak denies having sufficient personal funds to cover the bail, stating that he will try to raise the money through acquaintances if possible.
