Zelenskyy’s ex-chief of staff accused in Ukraine corruption investigation

Anti-graft agencies say Andriy Yermak suspected of participating in criminal group that laundered $10.5m in housing project, which he denies ownership in

Ukrainian authorities have named Volodymyr Zelenskyy's powerful former chief of staff as a suspect in a major corruption investigation, a move likely to pile pressure on the president's office at a sensitive moment in the war with Russia.

Kyiv's political class was rocked by a wide-ranging probe last year that had fuelled public anger and prompted the ex-top adviser and Zelenskyy's right-hand man, Andriy Yermak, to resign.
