The Kherson Court of Appeal has strengthened the sentence of the occupation-appointed head of the Novotroitsk community, Yevheniya Kuzmenko.
This is stated on the EDRSR website.
In January this year Kuzmenko in absentia was sentenced to 11 years in prison without confiscation of property for aiding the aggressor state.
The court found that Kuzmenko participated in the activities of the occupation authorities: made anti-Ukrainian statements, was involved in organizing mass events, and also participated in holding illegal elections of the President of the Russian Federation and deputies of the State Duma in the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region.
However, on June 10 the panel of judges reviewed her case and added confiscation of all her property to the prison sentence.
It should be noted, according to the media, Yevheniya Kuzmenko – the daughter of Mykola Kuzmenko, a pro-Russian dean of the Novotroitsk district, an archpriest of the Novokakhovka eparchy of the UOC-MP, which is part of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Before the full-scale invasion, Kuzmenko worked in Kherson as a massage therapist.
