A resident of the Amur Region was sent to a pretrial detention center in a criminal case of treason (Article 275 of the Criminal Code). This was reported by TASS with reference to the press service of the regional FSB department.
According to the agency, the Amur resident transferred money to the Armed Forces of Ukraine «to counteract» the Russian army.
In the FSB video, which was published by ASN24, a man with a blurred face, accompanied by two people in civilian clothes, enters the building of the Amur FSB department, and then says on camera: «I transferred funds to the account of the National Bank of Ukraine in order to provide assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.»
The man is asked if he understood that the money «could be used to the detriment of our country,» to which he replies that he did. The voices of all people in the video have been changed.
In June, the Amur Regional Court sentenced Blagoveshchensk resident Sergei Chunosov to six years in a strict regime penal colony for preparing to commit treason. He was detained at the airport while attempting to fly to Moscow «for subsequent service in the RDC in Ukraine.»
