Is there liability if I do not appear in court as a witness?

If you do not appear at the court session without valid reasons or do not inform about the reasons for non-appearance, you may be subject to a summons through the internal affairs authorities with reimbursement to the state income of the costs of its implementation.

Malicious evasion of a witness from appearing before the pre-trial investigation bodies or the prosecutor entails the imposition of a fine of three to eight tax-free minimum incomes of citizens.
