Court convicts suspect in terror financing case
[KavkazUzel] The Southern District Military Court sentenced Olga Petrova, a native of the Krasnodar Territory, to seven years in prison, having found her guilty of financing terrorism. The defense called the verdict biased and announced an appeal.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," 36-year-old Olga Petrova and her defense claimed that she had made the transfers involved in the case to a supplier of traditional medicine. The case itself is based on the testimony of Sagid Kazimagomedov, convicted of involvement in terrorist activities, who reported pressure, but the court did not take this into account, the lawyer said.
According to relatives, the security forces began persecuting the family after Petrova and her sister adopted Islam.
The case of Olga Petrova, 36, accused of financing terrorism, has been considered by the Southern District Military Court since August 2021. She was charged with part 1 of article 205.1 (assistance to terrorist activities) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which, according to the current version of the code, provides for up to 15 years in prison.
The Southern District Military Court upheld the prosecution's demand to sentence Petrova to seven years in prison. Despite the fact that Petrova was accused of transferring money to a person who later allegedly organized the financing of terrorists in Syria, the court sentenced her above the term that her counterpart Sagid Kazimagomedov received, previously sentenced to five years in prison, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent reported .
Kazimagomedov is the only prosecution witness whose testimony was directly related to the translations she was charged with. He gave testimony in relation to Petrova, being under investigation and after the sentencing against him. In court in the Petrova case, he denied the version of the investigation, said that the money that Petrova transferred to his card was payment for the goods that she bought with his wife in the store, attorney Gayane Malkhasyan said.
The defense stated that in addition to the testimony obtained by the investigation under pressure on witnesses, there was no evidence of Petrova's guilt in the case, neither in the form of correspondence in messengers and social networks, nor in the form of recording of Petrova's telephone connections.
"The operative part has been announced, the court has appointed a sentence of seven years in a general regime colony. The punishment is disproportionate, an appeal is ahead. It is not yet known how the court motivates this decision, but we believe that the court did not take into account the testimony given by the witnesses at the hearing, but based on the testimony received from them during the investigation," lawyer Gayane Malkhasyan said in a comment to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
We will remind that earlier the lawyer pointed out that during the preliminary investigation of the case against Petrova, the investigation committed many violations.
"Initially, nothing was checked. The petitions were rejected, then additional interrogations of Petrova were carried out, and a confrontation with Kazimagomedov was refused to conduct a confrontation with his wife, with whom Petrova had trade relations. I filed cases in court, then on appeal, the result was negative. No pressure was exerted on me. On Petrova there were repeated attempts to persuade me to cooperate with the investigation, psychological coercion to confess guilt," Malkhasyan told earlier to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
