According to the prosecution, Sochi resident Bekzodbek Saidov twice - in December 2021 and July 2022 - transferred money to the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, which is fighting in Syria. He transferred money from his bank account, according to a message published on the court’s Telegram channel. Saidov was charged with committing a crime under Part 1.1 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (financing of terrorism). He was found guilty and sentenced to eight years and six months in prison, to be served in a maximum security colony, and the first three years in prison. The verdict did not enter into legal force. The "Caucasian Knot" does not yet have any comments from Saidov regarding the verdict. Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" wrote that on February 9, a resident of Crimea, Murat Kadyrov, was sentenced to 11 years in a maximum security colony, who was found guilty of transferring 8,000 rubles to a terrorist organization. |
