On May 11, investigators served Yermak with a notice of suspicion in a case involving the laundering of UAH 460 million through the construction of luxury cottages near Kyiv.

On May 12, six more individuals were named as suspects in the case. According to investigators, between 2021 and 2025, the suspects laundered more than UAH 460 million through the development of a cottage complex in the town of Kozyn in the Kyiv region. Part of the construction financing reportedly passed through a so-called "laundromat" controlled by a businessman who later became the owner of one of the residences.

On May 14, the High Anti-Corruption Court ordered Yermak held in custody with the option of posting bail set at UAH 140 million. Yermak previously stated that he did not have the funds to pay the bail.
