The official site of the organizers of the competition in Batumi was to take place from July 10 to July 17, but the coach told her parents that they were allegedly postponed on July 20-27. Subsequently, she stopped providing any confirmation of the tickets purchased-she only sent a bus booking. When the parents came home, the woman confessed that she lost all the money raised in the casino.
18000 tried to get a comment directly from the coach, but she did not answer calls.
The deputy mayor of Cherkasy Anastasia Chubina said in a comment that the trip was a private initiative of the head of the circle and the school has nothing to do with it. According to her, the trainer was released on May 30. The school administration will inform its position separately.
On the Facebook page of Cherkasy Specialized School # 20, a post appeared, which confirmed that the trip was an extracurricular initiative, and the management of the educational institution did not have information about its organization.
SUNP spokeswoman in Cherkasy region Zoya Vovk reported “18000” that criminal proceedings were opened on this fact. The information is entered in the Unified Register of Pre -trial Investigations. Investigative actions are ongoing.
