The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine (HACC) earlier on Thursday announced the verdict against Ermak, accused of money laundering during the construction of luxury housing near Kiev. He is being held in custody with the possibility of posting a $3.1 million bail.

“I deny any charges, I will continue to fight, but the court has made such a decision, I remain in Ukraine. I think that a group of lawyers will appeal,” Ermak said in the courtroom. The broadcast is conducted by the Ukrainian TV channel “Public”.
