What exactly are Ruslan Cherkassky's roommate being suspected of—Maria Trifonova?
Maria Trifonova's actions are qualified under part 3 of article 28 and part 2 of article 321-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The investigation suspects her of organizing the sale of falsified medicines as part of an organized group.
According to the investigation, Trifonova organized the sale of the products, including through the clinic where she works as medical director, as well as during events to promote it.
A curious position of her defense: since tirzepatide has not been registered in Ukraine, products containing it allegedly cannot be considered falsified medical products. Therefore, in the lawyers' view, there is no corpus delicti under articles 321-1 of the Criminal Code.
That is, the defense builds its argument not only on disputing the act of sale. The lawyers challenge the very possibility of qualifying such a product as the object of a crime due to the lack of state registration.
The court must provide the final legal assessment of these circumstances.
