An ambulance was called to Hutsul's mother in the Chisinau court

An ambulance arrived to the mother of the head of the Gagauz Autonomy of Moldova, Eugenia Gutsul Anna Buyukli, in the building of the Chisinau Court of Appeal. Footage from the scene on October 9 is published by Izvestia.

The woman became ill during the court session. Before that, she told her daughter that she would definitely be "released from prison."

Hutsul declared her innocence before the meeting of the Chisinau Court of Appeal. She added that she hopes for a favorable outcome of the trial and that "there is democracy" in the country.

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

Russia called the decision politically motivated

The day before, the Chisinau Court of Appeal refused to release the Bashkan of Gagauzia from custody. Hutsul's lawyer Natalia Bayram, in turn, said that during the investigation, the head of Gagauzia was offered to resign from the position of bashkan of the autonomy in exchange for ending criminal prosecution.

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 to its decision, 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 in more than 60 volumes, consisting of approximately 16 thousand pages.
