In Kabardino-Balkaria, Alberd Chechenov, a participant in the invasion of Ukraine, was sentenced to a year and eight months in a maximum security colony on charges of theft. “Caucasus.Realities” drew attention to the verdict.
The verdict was announced by the Chegemsky District Court of the Republic on May 27. Now there is no published decision on this case on the court’s website, but earlier the details of the decision were included in the database of the website “judicial decisions.rf”.
As stated in the text of the resolution, in May 2023, Vladimir Putin pardoned Chechenov. The serviceman was released from the colony on May 17 of the same year — until December 16, the man was at war in Ukraine. He was assigned to military unit 40321 — this is the 7th separate motorized rifle division, located in the occupied territory of the Lugansk region.
According to investigators, in February 2024, Chechenov climbed into the yard of a private house of a resident of Kabardino-Balkaria I. X. and stole her copper cable, electric motor, two electric pumps and a welding machine. The damage from the man’s actions amounted to almost 20 thousand rubles.
The court ruling mentions eight previous sentences against Chechenov. In 2016, he was convicted three times in drug cases and attempted theft, in 2018 in a theft case, in 2020 in two cases of theft and violation of the inviolability of a home, and in 2022 again in two cases. about theft and drugs.
When sentencing Chechenov in his ninth criminal case, the court took into account as a mitigating circumstance that he “repented of his deeds” and “took direct part in a special military operation in the territories of Ukraine.” As Kavkaz.Realii suggests, Chechenov fought in the Storm Z assault unit of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
