According to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, Marina Tauber is accused of falsifying reports on the financing of the electoral campaign and political party, accepting illegal funding from an organized criminal group, as well as interfering with the administration of justice. Prosecutors have requested a sentence of 13 years in prison under a partially cumulative regime, the prohibition of holding public office and engaging in economic activities within political parties for five years, as well as the application of pre-trial detention and declaring the accused in search.

In addition, the Shor party is also involved in the case, being charged with two counts of falsifying financial reports and accepting illegal funding. Prosecutors have requested the recognition of the legal entity's guilt, although they have demanded the cessation of the criminal proceedings against the party following its dissolution by the Constitutional Court's decision.
