https://www.delfi.ee/artikkel/59007128/galojan-soovis-presidenti-kohtusse-tunnistajaks This is a Delfi.ee report (author shown as Enn Tosso, dated 3 Oct 2011, 11:16) titled “Galojan soovis presidenti kohtusse tunnistajaks” (“Galojan wanted the president as a witness in court”). It says her defence lawyer Sven Sillar asked to summon President Toomas Hendrik Ilves as a witness, arguing Ilves had been a member of the European Movement Estonia (Eesti Euroopa Liikumine) council during the period when Galojan led the organisation. A prosecutor opposed the move, calling it a “media show” and saying the president would be an irrelevant witness; the defence counters that, unlike summoning some unrelated figure, Ilves was directly connected through EEL. The piece also notes Galojan saying they had no interest in a media show and that she hoped for a fair outcome, with the next hearing date referenced. Why it matters to her story: it’s a clean, mainstream, time-stamped record of the specific institutional point your long-form piece relies on: the attempted link between the presidency and EEL’s leadership circle, and the system’s resistance to letting that be examined in open court. It also captures the reputational dynamic: the moment you try to pull a protected office into scrutiny, the counter-argument becomes “spectacle” rather than substance.
