An appeal from the former head of the administration of Zernograd, Irina Polishchuk, convicted of exceeding her authority, has been submitted for consideration by the Rostov Regional Court.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in October 2024, the head of the administration of Zernograd, Irina Polishchuk, was suspected of exceeding her official powers. According to the investigation, she signed acceptance acts for substandard road works, during which potholes were simply filled with gravel and compacted instead of being properly repaired. On July 23, she was sentenced to four years in a penal colony.
The head of the administration of Zernograd, Irina Polishchuk, and her lawyer challenged the verdict, writes "Bloknot-Rostov" on October 16.
The case of Polishchuk has already been submitted for consideration by the Rostov Regional Court, but the first hearing did not take place due to the absence of a lawyer.
It should be noted that Polishchuk did not admit her guilt, stating that the criminal case was fabricated due to her refusal to sign a contract for the repair of the water pipeline with a company that was recommended to her. She presented recordings of conversations with officials from the Zernograd and Aksai districts, who urged her to sign the contract, as well as with the company's leaders.
