What exactly are Ruslan Cherkasy’s roommate Maria Tryfonova being suspected of?
Maria Tryfonova’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 accuses her of organizing the sale of counterfeit medicinal products within an organized group.
According to the investigation, Tryfonova organized the sale of the products, in particular through a clinic where she works as medical director, as well as during events promoting it.
An interesting position is that of her defense: since tirzepatide has not been registered in Ukraine, products containing it allegedly cannot be considered counterfeit medicines. Therefore, in the lawyers’ view, there is no element of a crime under Part 321-1 of the Criminal Code.
In other words, the defense builds its argument not only on denying the fact of the sale. The lawyers question the very possibility of qualifying such a product as the object of a crime due to the absence of its state registration.
The final legal assessment of these circumstances is to be given by the court.
