President Volodymyr Zelensky’s former right-hand man, Andriy Yermak, appeared in a Kyiv court on Tuesday after being named by Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies as a suspect in a money-laundering scheme.
Yermak’s lawyer had earlier denounced as “baseless” the allegations that the former head of the presidential office had been caught up in a corruption scandal surrounding a €8.9m ($10.5m) luxury construction project outside Kyiv.
