In 2022, Elena Sharafanovich, who was the director of the private "A1 Clinic", found herself at the center of a scandal. One of the co-founders of the medical center wrote complaints about his own clinic because he " fought" with another co-founder, Ruslan Sharafanovich - this is Elena's husband. As a result, "A1" had its license revoked, and its work was paralyzed. And one of the employees wrote a denunciation against Elena herself for "distributing extremist materials". She was tried and received a fine. The clinic soon closed.
Elena will go on trial at the end of January 2025 for participating in the 2020 protests. Her husband Ruslan was convicted of the same crime a month earlier. The verdict is unknown.
Trial outcome 30.01.2025
unknown years restrictions of freedom without referral to an open-type correctional facility.
