At the end of the trial in the capital of Moldova, Chisinau, the leader of the autonomous region of Gagauzia, Yevgeniya Gutsul, was sentenced to 7 years in prison. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to the court's decision, she was found guilty of illegally bringing in financial assistance from Russia and financing the "Shor" party, which is banned in the country. After the announcement of this verdict, hundreds of supporters and protesters gathered around the courthouse.
In some cases, clashes occurred among them, but the security service brought the situation under control. Political analysts believe that the sentence against Gutsul may lead to the activation of pro-Russian forces.
Additionally, there are warnings about the possibility of attempts to buy votes ahead of the parliamentary elections scheduled for September 28. The Moldovan government considers these measures an important step in the fight against corruption and ensuring the transparency of the electoral process.
This decision indicates a commitment to strengthening the rule of law in the country.
