[KavkazUzel] The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation found no grounds to overturn the sentence of Ol'ga Petrova, a resident of the Krasnodar Territory, who was sentenced to seven years in prison for financing terrorism.
As the Caucasian Knot reported, at the end of 2021, Kuban native Ol'ga Petrova was sentenced to seven years in prison for financing terrorism. According to the lawyer, serious mistakes were made during the investigation of the case.
The case of Ol’ga Petrova, 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 in 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. Petrova herself and her defense argued that she made the transfers indicated in the case to a supplier of traditional medicine goods.
The case itself is based on the testimony of Sagid Kazimagomedov, convicted of involvement in terrorist activities, who stated about pressure, but the court did not take this into account, the lawyer previously indicated. Petrova's relatives stated that they intend to seek her release.
The Supreme Court of Russia refused to reconsider the case of Ol'ga Petrova, a native of the Krasnodar Territory, who was convicted of financing terrorism. The cassation ruling, published on February 23 on the court’s website, states that the verdict of the Southern Military Court dated December 28, 2021 and the appeal ruling dated August 15, 2022 remain unchanged.
The ruling states that Petrova’s lawyers stated that the case was incorrectly classified, the court’s improper assessment of the convicted person’s version of payment for traditional medicine, improper assessment of the testimony of witnesses, and the lack of evidence of the defendant’s guilt. They asked the court to terminate the criminal prosecution of Petrova or send her case for a new trial. The state prosecutor, in turn, asked the verdict and the appeal ruling to be left unchanged, and the complaints not satisfied.
The panel of judges did not see any contradictions in the evidence in the case; the defense’s statement to the contrary was called “unfounded.” The testimony of witnesses who testify that Petrova was aware that she was committing acts of a terrorist nature was recognized as valid, as was the testimony that Petrova professed the ideas of radical Islam.
The court found that there were no grounds for recognizing the sentence as unfair and left the sentence unchanged.
