On May 15, 2026, the HACC set a preventive measure for Maryna Medvedieva, suspected in the UAH 460 million money laundering case. She was ordered to post bail of UAH 15 million.
The following obligations will apply upon posting bail:
-
appear at every summons of the detective, prosecutor, and court;
-
notify the investigator, prosecutor, or court of any change in his place of residence or work;
-
not leave Kyiv and refrain from communicating with other suspects and witnesses in the case;
-
surrender her international passport and wear an electronic monitoring bracelet.
Medvedieva was a staff member of Chernyshov's support office at the Ministry of Regional Development and subsequently worked with him at Naftogaz. According to the prosecutor, she has been his personal assistant since 2016.
The prosecutor stated that BLOOM DEVELOPMENT purchased 13 land plots and transferred them to the SUNNY SHORE cooperative, which was effectively controlled by Liliia Lysenko, Hennadii Opalchuk, and Serhii Siranchuk.
Medvedieva allegedly handled non-cash and cash transactions and the distribution of funds to other suspects. According to the investigation, she coordinated the activities of those involved on Chernyshov's instructions, performed accounting functions, conducted foreign currency transactions, and ensured the operation of Chernyshov's office.
The prosecutor sought pre-trial detention with a UAH 20 million bail alternative.
The defense stated that Medvedieva has had no connection to Chernyshov for a year, committed no crime, and cannot afford the bail amount.
The NABU exposed an organized group involved in laundering UAH 460 million through elite construction near Kyiv. Suspicion notices were served on one of its members — former Presidential Office Head Andrii Yermak, former Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Chernyshov, and businessman Timur Mindich. According to the investigation, the construction funds came from the activities of Mindich's criminal organization. The money was accumulated through the so-called “laundry,” into which finances flowed from various sources — in particular, from the corruption schemes at Energoatom.
