A resident of the Rostov region received 20 years in a penal colony for preparing a sabotage.

The Rostov Regional Court sentenced a local resident to 20 years in prison to be served in a strict regime colony for planning a sabotage at a transport infrastructure facility on behalf of the Ukrainian special services.

In the southern regions of Russia, after the start of large-scale hostilities in Ukraine, there have been repeated arsons of military enlistment offices and relay cabinets on the railway. In criminal cases, the same wording often appears: allegedly "unidentified persons" force teenagers or young people to film the arsons and then send them to the "customer." This narrative in a large number of criminal cases indicates that investigators found a simple way to prove crimes, noted earlier law candidate Roman Melnychenko.

In January 2024, the defendant began corresponding with representatives of the Ukrainian special services, from whom he received an assignment to carry out a "sabotage by damaging transport infrastructure facilities" in the Rostov region. For this, he was promised payment, reports Interfax, citing the court's press service.

It is noted that the convicted person was detained after arriving at the site of the sabotage. He was sentenced under criminal articles 275 (treason), part 2 of article 281 (preparation of sabotage), part 4 of article 354.1 (rehabilitation of Nazism), TASS clarifies.

Recall that the court sentenced Denis Popov to 25 years in prison in a case of treason. According to the court, he transmitted information about military ships in Novorossiysk.
