  • A Moldovan court sentenced Evgenia Gutul to seven years in jail for financing a political party using money from Russia.
  • Gutul denied any wrongdoing and has been placed on EU and U.S. sanctions lists for allegedly destabilizing Moldova.
  • Prosecutors argued Gutul funneled undeclared funds to support the banned pro-Moscow 'Shor' party from 2019 to 2022.
  • The Kremlin condemned the sentence, calling it politically motivated, while supporters protested outside the court in Chisinau.
