Additional information:

Lyubov Velichko published a video message saying that Alena Shevtsova (a person who manages activity of online casinos in Ukraine) sued Velichko. Shevtsova is demanding a compensation of one million Ukrainian hryvnias. The reason for the lawsuit is Velichko's investigation about activity of online casinos in Ukraine. The fact that Shevtsova’s husband is one of the main officers of the National Police of Ukraine causes further concern to the journalist.
