[KavkazUzel] The Military Court of Appeal upheld the verdict of Anvar Bolotkhanov and Kamil Eldarov, residents of Chechnya, who were convicted of transferring 20,000 rubles for a trip to Syrian militants. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote , on July 28, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Anvar Bolotkhanov, a native of the Gudermes region of Chechnya, 5.5 years in prison, and Kamil Eldarov, a native of Gudermes, five years in prison under articles on assisting terrorism. According to the investigation and the court, in 2015 Bolotkhanov "using a bank card provided by Eldarov" transferred funds in the amount of 20 thousand rubles to another person in order to assist him in leaving for Syria to participate in a banned armed group. The convicts admitted their guilt. One of the convicts appealed against the verdict, but the collegium of the Military Court of Appeal in the Moscow region today also found Bolotkhanov and Eldarov guilty and upheld the verdict of the Southern District Military Court unchanged, a court official told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. "Caucasian Knot" does not yet have comments from Anvar Bolotkhanov and Kamil Eldarov regarding the court's decision. The complaint against the verdict of Bolotkhanov and Eldarov was received on September 28, according to a file on the website of the Military Court of Appeal. |
