A resident of Apsheronsk was convicted of financing an undesirable organization.
The Apsheronsky District Court found local resident Anna Isaeva guilty of providing financial assistance to an organization whose activities have been deemed undesirable in Russia. Isaeva received a suspended sentence.
According to the court, between September 2023 and April 2024, Isaeva systematically transferred funds ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 rubles to the card of an active participant in an international movement whose activities have been deemed undesirable in the Russian Federation. The woman transferred a total of 7,500 rubles, knowing that the funds were being used to distribute campaign materials, publish religious literature, and meet other organizational needs.
The defendant was aware that the movement's members were following the orders of their Ukrainian handlers: they established contacts with opposition figures and carried out coordinated campaigns to discredit the policies of federal and regional government bodies. Since the beginning of the SVO, they have also disseminated deliberately false information discrediting the Armed Forces, the joint press service of the courts of the Krasnodar Krai region reported today on its Telegram channel.
At the court hearing, Anna Isayeva fully admitted her guilt and expressed remorse for her actions. The court took into account the fact that this was her first criminal conviction, that she has a young child, and that she has a positive reference.
The court found Isaeva guilty of financing an undesirable organization . She was sentenced to 1.5 years of suspended imprisonment, with a probationary period of 1.5 years. The sentence has not entered into legal force.
The name of the organization is not indicated in the message.
