The defense appealed the verdict against the ex-husband of blogger Valeria Chekalina (Lerchek) Artyom Chekalin, convicted in the case of the withdrawal of more than 250 million rubles in the UAE on forged documents. Lercek's lawyer Konstantin Tretyakov told Izvestia about this.

"The complaint has been filed," he said.

On April 13, Chekalin was sentenced to seven years in a penal colony. In addition, he will have to pay a fine of 194 million rubles.

He himself said that he came to court with a "heavy heart" and warned the children that he might not return home. Prior to that, Lercek appealed to the court with a request to show mercy to her ex-husband. Lawyer Tretyakov told Izvestia that the children of the former spouses will live with their mother.

On March 16, the court released Chekalina from house arrest after confirming her cancer. Also, due to illness, it was allowed to suspend judicial proceedings in the blogger's criminal case on her withdrawal of more than 250 million rubles to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
