Information on the search for Sapozhko in connection with the 1998 murder

No new elections were scheduled until 2010, as another colleague of Troshchenko and Sapozhko, Vadim Andrievsky, filed a lawsuit in which Antonenko was illegally fired. As a result, the case was considered for two years and, at the time of its consideration, the judge prohibited the holding of early elections.
