The prosecutor's office has submitted to the court an indictment against Inessa, the wife of former MP from Odesa, Ihor Markov. She was accused of treason.

The property of the accused, including luxury residential real estate and a land plot in Odesa, has already been seized and transferred to the management of the ARMA. Intent wrote about this.

Since the suspect is in hiding, she has been put on the wanted list, and the trial will take place in absentia.
