"Shame of justice": the head of Gagauzia Hutsul sentenced to seven years in prison

Russia called the decision politically motivated

Hutsul, accused of allegedly financing the Shor party, was sentenced to seven years in prison on August 5. This case, which caused a wide worldwide response, attracted international lawyers William Julie and Gonzalo Boye, who, among others, defended the defendant.

On September 17, Julie pointed out the political nature of the trial against the Hutsuls. According to him, she had practically no real opportunity to defend herself, as Moldovan lawyers received only two weeks to study the case, which consists of more than 60 volumes, consisting of approximately 16 thousand pages.
