Crimean judge is sentenced to 13 years in prison

A former judge of the Feodosia City Court of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was sentenced to 13 years in prison with confiscation of property for treason, but so far in absentia.

According to the Prosecutor's Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the Ukrainian citizen betrayed her oath of allegiance to the Ukrainian people after the occupation of the peninsula in 2014. She prepared an application to the Higher Qualification Collegium of Judges of the Russian Federation to get a position of a "judge" in the illegally established Feodosia City Court of the so-called "Republic of Crimea".

In December 2014, she was officially appointed to this position, after which she began to administer "justice" on behalf of the occupation authorities, in fact assisting the aggressor state in subversive activities against Ukraine.

The prosecutors of the autonomy fully proved her guilt, and the court sentenced her to 13 years in prison with confiscation of property under Part 1 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

Recently, the court sentenced a woman who started working for the Russian Federation in occupied Crimea. She took the position ofa "justice of the peace". She was tried for collaboration.

Also, two former judges of the Sudak and Kerch city courts of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea were found guilty of treason. In court, prosecutors proved that after the occupation of the peninsula, the convicts betrayed their oath of allegiance to the people of Ukraine and joined the enemy.

In addition, an occupation judge who prosecuted Ukrainians in Crimea was sentenced to 13 years in prison for treason. Meanwhile, the Prosecutor's Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea submitted to the court an indictment against two former SBU officers who, after the occupation of the peninsula, defected to Russia and began working for the Russian Federal Security Service in the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol. They are accused of harassing Ukrainian journalists, illegal entry into homes, conducting searches, and treason.
