Zelenskyy's former chief of staff faces money-laundering charges in court

Andriy Yermak, former chief of staff to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, appeared in court on suspicion of involvement in a $10.5 million money-laundering scheme.

The alleged operation centers on a luxury real estate development project. Yermak held one of Ukraine's most powerful positions before his departure from the role.

The case marks a significant development in Ukraine's anti-corruption efforts and raises questions about financial oversight within the presidential administration during the ongoing war.
