Her criminal case is being heard in closed session. This was done to prevent the disclosure of information about her personal and family life, as well as to ensure the safety of the participants in the case.
Some of the witnesses in the case are judges and employees of the Berdyansk City District Court.
It is not known what bail Bogomolova paid to get out of the pretrial detention center – these court decisions have not been made public.
Earlier in September, the court set a bail of 2.4 million hryvnias for Bogomolova as an alternative to detention.
By the end of 2024, all prosecution witnesses had already been questioned. However, the defense filed a motion to summon experts for questioning.
