[Regnum] The Supreme Court of the DPR sentenced to life imprisonment a militant of the Ukrainian formation "Azov" (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation) Pavel Gusev, who shot two civilians in Mariupol. This was reported on March 25 by the press service of the Main Military Prosecutor's Office (GVP) of Russia. It is noted that on March 20, 2022, Gusev fired at least ten times from an AKS-74 assault rifle at two men who were walking down the street and ignored the order to stop. They died from their injuries. The court agreed with the position of the state prosecutor and sentenced Gusev to life imprisonment in a special regime correctional colony. As Regnum reported, on February 2, a court in the DPR sentenced Azov militant Renat Aliyev to life imprisonment for the murders of civilians in Mariupol committed in March 2022. As follows from court materials, he ordered his subordinate to kill a man and a woman who did not participate in the military conflict. Later, Aliyev killed another civilian on the street, shooting him in the head with a machine gun. On February 21, the Supreme Court of the DPR convicted in absentia Azov militant Roman Shebanov, who gave the order to shell civilian infrastructure. The court found him guilty of cruelty to the civilian population, attempted murder of two or more persons and intentional damage to someone else's property in a generally dangerous manner. Shebanov was sentenced to 28 years in prison in a maximum security colony. |
