The defendant will serve his sentence in a maximum security colony and must also pay a fine of 300 thousand rubles.
The Moscow City Court sentenced an IT specialist with dual citizenship who tried to transfer secret state information to the US Central Intelligence Agency to 13.5 years in prison. The defendant was found guilty of treason. This was reported by the Russian media in connection with the FSB.
It was noted that he will serve his sentence in a maximum security colony and also pay a fine of 300 thousand rubles.
According to investigators, Firuz Dadoboev, who had obtained information illegally and constituted a state secret, planned to transfer it to a representative of American intelligence. For this purpose, he established contact with the CIA.
He was detained in October 2022 while trying to transfer the collected classified materials.
The FSB said the defendant admitted his guilt and repented of his crime.
Let’s recall that in Russia, the Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow convicted the French citizen, political scientist Laurent Vinatier in the case of collecting information in the field of military-technical activities of Russia without registering a “foreign agent.” He was sentenced to three years in prison.
Earlier in Moscow, a 73-year-old American was sentenced to 6 years and 10 months in prison for “participation in the defense of Ukrainian terrorists.”
