Edited [KavkazUzel] The Southern District Military Court sentenced a 34-year-old resident of the Predgorny District of Stavropol Krai to 12 years in prison for transferring approximately five thousand rubles. According to the court and investigators, in January 2021, a man who held radical views transferred 5,300 rubles to a previously known member of a terrorist organization. The prosecution claims he transferred this sum to continue the activities of the banned group and commit crimes. Taking into account the state prosecutor's position, the court found him guilty of aiding terrorist activity and sentenced him to 12 years in prison. He will serve the first five years in prison, and the remainder in a maximum-security penal colony with six months of restricted freedom, the press service of the Stavropol Krai Prosecutor's Office reported today on its website. The sentence has not yet entered into legal force, the statement noted. The charge of financing terrorism (Part 1.1 of Article 205.1 of the Russian Criminal Code) carries a sentence of eight to fifteen years in prison. The supervisory agency did not name the convicted person, nor did it specify which banned group the money was intended for.
