An ex-pole dancer dubbed the 'Black Widow' will be hauled before the High Court over accusations she arranged to kill her British husband.

Ganna Ziuzina, who now goes by Julianne Moore, faces claims she had Barry Pring murdered to get his £1.5million.

The 28-year-old will have a civil trial in November, with Mr Pring's family expected to accuse her of orchestrating his death.

She was accused at an inquest in 2017 of being behind the hit-and-run killing of her businessman husband, 47, on the outskirts of Kiev, Ukraine, in 2008.

She was dubbed the 'Black Widow' after a British coroner ruled Mr Pring was 'unlawfully killed'.

Mr Pring's mother Irene and brother Shaughan claim in legal papers seen by the Mirror: 'It is the contention that the deceased was wilfully and deliberately killed, and that [Ziuzina] was complicit in the killing of the deceased, and intended that outcome.

'[Ziuzina] brought about the murder of the deceased with the assistance of a person or persons whose identity is presently unknown.'

They go on to accuse Ziuzina of marrying Mr Pring for his money and 'caused his death to rid herself of him and for her own financial benefit when it was likely that the marriage would otherwise have soon come to an end'.

But Ziuzina denies the accusations, adding in the papers Mr Pring's family did not know details of the couple's relationship.

She also put down the claim her marriage had been on the rocks, saying they had been planning to go to Colorado for skiing.

John McLinden QC, defending Ziuzina, said in a previous court appearance: 'She wants me to say publicly that the family are completely wrong in their belief and sight has been lost that she too has been gravely affected by this tragedy.'

And her solicitor John Cabot has said she will be giving evidence in next month's trial.

After Mr Pring's death was ruled 'unlawfully killed', Ziuzina took legal action - which saw the High Court overrule the coroner's finding.

Police in Ukraine initially investigated Mr Pring’s death as a traffic offence before reclassifying the incident as murder.

But their latest probe said a key witness account of Mr Pring’s death - which said a car hit him at high speed with its lights off - did not tally with other statements from the scene.

Mr Pring, from Battersea, south-west London died without and children and with no will.

Ms Ziuzina met Mr Pring online early in 2006 and they married in Kiev, the Ukraine capital, in January 2007.

They had been celebrating their first anniversary at a restaurant outside the city when the businessman met his death. The couple were trying to hail a taxi by the roadside when Ms Ziuzina returned to the restaurant to find a missing glove.

It was at that moment that Mr Pring was struck by a vehicle that has never been traced.

A verdict of unlawful killing was later quashed when coroner Elizabeth Earland admitted allowing ‘hearsay evidence’ and not giving Ms Ziuzina adequate opportunity to attend the hearing.

Mr Pring’s family accused Ms Ziuzina of involvement in his death at the subsequent inquest before the Exeter coroner.

The unlawful killing verdict caused a sensation but the model took immediate legal action.

When the verdict was quashed at the High Court eight weeks later, Ms Ziuzina claimed costs and received £40,000 from the coroner’s office.

In the April ruling, Shaughan Pring, the businessman’s brother, and mother Irene Pring, as executors of his estate, were ordered to pay £25,000 to Ms Ziuzina. She refused to comment.

Ziuzina now lives in Marbella, Spain, with Ivan Lister, 48, also from Britain. She won £65,000 from the coroner’s office and the dead man’s family in April this year.

The amount was roughly a third of her costs, which were thought to be around £200,000.

Her friend told The Mail on Sunday at the time: ‘Ganna feels very strongly she has been the victim of a miscarriage of justice – the first inquest was grossly unfair but the coroner, Mrs Earland, was allowed to quietly retire afterwards.

'Ganna was accused of being a murderer without any evidence and there were huge stories in the papers about her, but when the inquest was quashed and Mrs Earland retired, no one said anything.

'She feels that these awards towards her legal costs are a first step in vindicating her.’

Ms Ziuzina's High Court battle comes despite the Ukranian police believing that Mr Pring was the victim of a hit-and-run.

Police initially investigated Mr Pring’s death as a traffic offence before reclassifying the incident as murder.

But a subsequent probe says a key witness account of Mr Pring’s death that said a car hit him at high speed with its lights off did not tally with other statements from the scene.

In fact, police said that Svetlana Dudko, the supposed witness, ‘was not present at all’. Their report said: ‘The evidence gathered confirms the fact of a traffic accident.

‘At the same time there is not sufficient evidence to consider a deliberate murder using the vehicle.’

Home Office pathologist Gyan Fernando conducted a post-mortem examination in Britain, and found that Mr Pring’s injuries suggested he was ‘run over by a heavy vehicle such as a truck’.
