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.
