She was to order the murder of her ex-husband. She offered thousands of dollars for his death

Sofia B. is accused of attempting to arrange the murder of her ex-husband, Jarosław B., by hiring a Ukrainian citizen, Artiom A., offering $4,300 for the act. The incident occurred in Ukraine between December 2019 and February 3, 2020, and was reported by Ukrainian authorities. Sofia allegedly paid Artiom a $500 advance for travel expenses and part of the agreed fee. However, Artiom did not intend to carry out the murder, and Sofia was arrested on the same day she made the payment. She denies the charges, and experts found her capable of understanding her actions. If convicted, she faces a prison sentence of at least 10 years or life imprisonment, but she is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
