to members of a terrorist organization in Syria. The suspect has been put on the international wanted list. 

A criminal case has been initiated under the article on assistance to a terrorist organization (Part 1 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) against a resident of Nalchik. According to investigators, in April and May 2015, in order to assist members of a terrorist organization operating in Syria, he transferred 200,000 rubles to two of his acquaintances "for them to purchase weapons, equipment and further participation in the activities of a terrorist organization," the department of the Russian Investigative Committee for Kabardino-Balkaria reported today.

"The suspect has been put on the international wanted list," the ministry's Telegram channel said in a statement. The name of the suspect was not included in the message.

The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that a court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Asker Khamukov, a resident of Kabardino-Balkaria, to 18 years in prison, and his sister Lianna was sentenced to 16.5 years in prison for assisting a terrorist organization. According to investigators, they organized a fundraiser on the Internet and transferred 1,402,900 rubles to a terrorist organization.
They originally joined the Caucasus Emirate in 2013, then continued supporting and fundraising for ISIS, in 2015 sending the equivalent of almost US$22,000 to Syria.
