(Oleg Sukhov – The Kyiv Independent) Andriy Yermak, ex-head of the President’s Office, has received a summons to attend Ukraine’s High Anti-Corruption Court, while an aide to the presidential faction’s head has been searched in a corruption case, a law enforcement source told the Kyiv Independent on April 16. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press. Yermak and David Arakhamia, head of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Servant of the People faction in parliament, did not respond to requests for comment. Yermak is under investigation in a probe into a $100 million corruption scheme centered around the state nuclear monopoly Energoatom but has not been charged yet. The Energoatom probe, launched last year, is the biggest corruption investigation of Zelensky’s tenure. – Top Zelensky allies Yermak, Arakhamia targeted in new searches, summons, source says
