| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. A court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced a resident of Neftekumsk to a long term, accused of involvement in a banned terrorist organization.
A criminal case was opened against a resident of Neftekumsk in May 2022. According to the security forces, the man “voluntarily joined the ranks of a terrorist organization” and planned to “commit crimes on its behalf,” Interfax-South reports from the Stavropol department of the FSB. The message does not specify how the convict joined the militants and what exactly he was going to do on behalf of IS*. The court, however, found him guilty and sentenced him to five years and six months in prison. The article on participation in the activities of a terrorist organization (Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of Russia), under which a resident of Neftekumsk was convicted, provides for a more severe punishment - from ten to twenty years in prison. The sentence has already entered into force; the man will serve his sentence in a general regime colony. The "Caucasian Knot" does not yet have any comments from the accused or his representative regarding the court verdict. The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that in November the court sentenced a resident of Stavropol to 12 years in prison, finding him guilty of preparing an explosion at the railway station in Mineralnye Vody. The prosecution also called him an IS supporter. | |
