President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s former chief of staff has been named by two Ukrainian anti-corruption watchdogs as a suspect in a major graft probe, bringing the once right-hand man who once wielded enormous influence in the country’s wartime planning under direct scrutiny.
Andrii Yermak is officially suspected of taking part in an alleged 460-million hryvnia ($10.5 million) money-laundering scheme, according to Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
