The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court allowed former head of the President’s Office Andriy Yermak to travel throughout Ukraine without separate permission from a detective, prosecutor, or court.

This was reported by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.

The decision was made on November 10. Previously, Yermak could travel through Kyiv and Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Kherson regions without a separate permit, with the possibility of transiting through other regions.

During the consideration of the petition, Yermak’s lawyers referred to his participation in the project of the National Bar Association of Ukraine to provide legal assistance to military personnel.

The SAPO prosecutor emphasized that previous restrictions did not hinder this activity, since Yermak manages the project, and does not directly provide legal assistance as one of more than 60 lawyers.

In the end, the court partially granted the prosecutor’s request, extended Yermak’s procedural duties, but lifted the territorial restrictions on his movement within Ukraine.

At the same time, he remains obliged to appear when summoned by a detective, prosecutor, and court, report any change in his place of residence or work, not communicate with certain persons regarding the circumstances of the case, and keep documents for traveling abroad in his possession.

Recall that earlier, the Supreme Court of Ukraine had already eased restrictions on Yermak , allowing him to visit a number of regions, including front-line regions, without separate approval.

Yermak is a suspect in a case of alleged legalization of property obtained through criminal means during the construction of a private cottage town near Kyiv. He and his defense deny the charges.
