A Dagestani woman was convicted of financing ISIS*.

A military court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Dagestani resident Albina Magomedova to a lengthy prison term, finding her guilty of financing Islamic State* militants.

The Southern District Military Court has been hearing the criminal case under the article on assisting terrorist activity (Part 1.1 of Article 205.1 of the Russian Criminal Code), which carries a prison sentence of eight to fifteen years, since October 2025.

According to the prosecution, from May 31 to June 4, 2022, Magomedova transferred more than 818,000 rubles to support the activities of ISIS*, a terrorist organization banned in Russia. In court, Magomedova fully admitted her guilt, the court's press service reported on May 27.
