The defense of the Darvol owner appealed the verdict in the fraud case.

Lawyers for Darya Spiridonova, the owner of the Darvol jewelry house, have filed a complaint against the verdict of the Khamovniki Court in Moscow, which sentenced her to seven years in a penal colony for fraud on an especially large scale. This was reported to Izvestia in court on July 29.

According to information published on the website of the courts of general jurisdiction of the capital, a review date has not yet been set.

Spiridonova's defense had previously informed Izvestia that they did not agree with the decision of the court of first instance. The lawyers insist that the court did not take into account the presence of Spiridonova's two minor children, one of whom is disabled (with cancer). They believe that this circumstance is an unconditional reason for granting a delay in serving the sentence until the youngest child reaches the age of 14.
