A court in Chisinau has decided to arrest the head of the Gagauz Autonomy, Evgenia Gutsul, for a period of 20 days, APA reports citing TASS.
Earlier it was reported that she was charged with allegedly illegally financing the election campaign in 2023.
At the same time, as noted by Hutsul's lawyer Natalia Bayram, prosecutors were unable to substantiate her arrest in court.
"From the materials provided by the prosecutor, the defense proved in court that there is not a single reason, not a single piece of evidence or argument for the arrest or imprisonment of Evgenia Hutsul," Bayram told TASS.
The defense claims that there were no legal grounds for the arrest of the head at the Chisinau airport and her detention.
