The trial of former Estonian minister of foreign trade and IT Marti Kuusik (EKRE), who is accused of domestic violence, is to continue next year, regional newspaper Virumaa Teataja reported.
Litigation was scheduled to take place on December 21; however, spokesperson for the Viru County Court Kristi Ehrlich said that the trial will not continue on that date.
"We'll be able to say on December 21 when the litigation procedure will be conducted," she added.
Altogether ten hearings, including the preliminary hearing, have been carried out to date in Kuusik's trial. Statements by the victim, Kuusik, and witnesses of both the prosecutor and the defense counsel have been heard.
