Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a subject of the investigation into the laundering of over UAH 460 million in a construction project near Kyiv. Semen Kryvonos, Director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, stated this during a joint briefing with Oleksandr Klymenko, Head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), on Tuesday, May 12.
"I want to say that the President of Ukraine has not been and is not a subject of the pre-trial investigation. Other investigative theories regarding the ownership of certain properties are being examined as part of the pre-trial investigation. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing," Kryvonos emphasized.
According to him, the names of the companies cannot be disclosed either, so as not to harm the investigation and not to violate the presumption of innocence.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on May 12, the NABU and the SAPO expanded the circle of suspects in the case of money laundering on an especially large scale.
On April 12, the High Anti-Corruption Court will determine a preventive measure for the former head of the President’s Office Andrii Yermak.
On May 11, Yermak was notified of his status as a suspect in connection with an organized group that laundered UAH 460 million through an elite construction project near Kyiv.
