A resident of Dagestan was convicted of financing a banned organization.

The court in Dagestanskie Ogni sentenced local resident Sabir Murtuzaliev to a monetary fine for financing an organization recognized as extremist in Russia.

The man was charged with financing extremist activities (part 1 of article 282.3 of the Criminal Code of Russia). The article provides for imprisonment for a term of three to eight years; however, the court, taking into account mitigating circumstances, limited itself to a fine.

The case was considered by the city court of Dagestanskie Ogni. According to the prosecution's version, a resident of Dagestan, being a supporter of the ideas of an extremist organization, transferred money to its bank account. In court, he fully admitted his guilt and expressed remorse, reported the press service of the Supreme Court of Dagestan on its Telegram channel on July 8.

The man was sentenced to a fine of 320,000 rubles. The name of the organization, the amount, and the date of the money transfer were not specified in the court's message, nor was the name of the defendant. In the court's registry, the only convicted person under the specified article is Sabir Murtuzaliev. The case was submitted to the court on April 15, 2026, the sentence was issued on June 26, but information about it appeared in the registry on the court's website only on July 8.

The sentence has not yet entered into legal force. The "Caucasian Knot" does not yet have comments from Murtuzaliev or his lawyer regarding plans to appeal the sentence.
