Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] Polish prosecutors have appealed a 2021 acquittal against three Chechen natives living in Poland in a case of raising funds for terrorist activities. It is reported by " Polish Radio."
Four natives of Chechnya were brought to trial in 2014 on charges of involvement in an organized group that acted in the interests of the Islamic State.
According to Polish law enforcement officers, they raised funds for the "jihad", recruited volunteers, bought military equipment, and also helped with the treatment in Poland of a militant who was wounded in Syria.
The defendants in court claimed that they were raising funds not for Syrian militants, but for the so-called "Chechen Republic of Ichkeria".
| Following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the so-called Chechen Republic of Ichkeria evolved into the Al Qaeda-linked Caucasus Emirate, the umbrella group for the jihadi organizations in the North Caucasus. Russia has been hunting down the jihadis of Caucasian Emirate for three decades... |
In 2017, the court sentenced three to two years and a month in prison, and acquitted the fourth. It was recognized that the defendants acted in the interests of the terrorist group "Caucasian Emirate" (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation).
| Caucasian Emirate most recently affiliated with ISIS under the name Caucasus Province. Thousands made hijra to the ISIS caliphate in Syria, others were adopted by Turkey — that whole Turkic peoples thingy. Most famously, the Tsarnaev brothers blew up the Boston Marathon for them. |
Both parties appealed the verdict, but in July 2018 the Białystok Court of Appeal upheld it. After the defense complained to the Supreme Court, the case was sent for a new trial by the Bialystok Court of Appeal, and in March 2021, all three were acquitted.
