Zelensky’s ex-cabinet member accused of illicit enrichment

The former presidential aide, identified by Ukrainian media as Andrii Smyrnov, is accused of acquiring real estate and vehicles with funds of unclear origin.
"These are two Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen cars, two Honda and BMW motorcycles, three parking spaces in Kyiv, an apartment in Lviv, and a land plot in Transcarpathia," the anti-corruption body said.
The former official is accused of having transferred most of these assets to his brother, "while retaining the right to fully dispose of them".
Smyrnov, who was dismissed in March, faces up to 10 years in prison if found guilty.
Since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, several high-profile corruption cases have been exposed in the country, including in the armed forces and government structures.
Ukraine, which was struggling with endemic corruption even before the Russian invasion, has pledged to step up its efforts to combat the scourge, as it seeks to reassure its Western backers and maintain its ambition of joining the European Union (EU).
In early May, Ukrainian Agriculture Minister Mykola Solskyi resigned after being accused of appropriating state-owned land.
In 2023, Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov stepped down amid a procurement scandal in the army involving the purchase of ammunition and equipment for soldiers.
