[KavkazUzel] A court in the Nadterechny district imposed fines on local residents Magomed Amaev and Usman Tutaev, finding them guilty of failing to inform the security forces about the plans of an acquaintance to create an illegal armed formation.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that criminal punishment for non-information was introduced in Russia in July 2016 after the signing of the "Yarovaya package" by the President. The corresponding article 205.6 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (failure to report a crime) provides for a fine of up to 100,000 rubles or up to a year of forced labor or imprisonment. Consideration of the amendments was accompanied by protests in Russia. 

The Nadterechny District Court of Chechnya found two local residents, Usman Tutaev and Magomed Amaev, guilty of failing to report the crime. The court concluded that in January 2022, Tutaev and Amaev met with five acquaintances, one of whom announced his intention to create an illegal armed formation "in order to counter law enforcement agencies" and invited those present to join it.

According to investigators, Amaev and Tutaev "out of a misunderstood sense of camaraderie" did not inform the security forces about the plans of their acquaintance. The court fined Amaev and Tutaev 20,000 and 25,000 respectively. A criminal case has been initiated against their friend for creating an illegal armed group, Kavkaz.Realii* reported on the evening of January 19.

Magomed Amaev and Usman Tutaev were charged under Article 205.6 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, according to the cards of criminal cases posted on the court website. On January 18, the cards of the cases of Amaev and Tutaev were updated, they published the texts of the sentences to the defendants. The verdicts indicate that both defendants fully admitted their guilt and asked for sentences "in a special manner, without a trial."

The court considered as mitigating circumstances the confession of guilt and repentance for the deed, the presence of positive characteristics of both defendants and the absence of a criminal record, and Tutaev also had a minor child.

"The court considers it necessary to impose a punishment on the defendant within the limits of the sanctions provided for by Article 205.6 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, in the form of a fine," both verdicts say.

During the investigation, both Amaev and Tutaev were given a preventive measure in the form of "a written undertaking not to leave and proper behavior." Both were provided with legal assistance by court-appointed lawyers, according to the text of the verdicts.
