The case of a Krasnodar resident regarding fakes about the army has gone to court.

A resident of Krasnodar faces up to ten years in prison, as employees of the Center "E" identified deliberately false information about the Russian armed forces in his posts.

In Krasnodar, a criminal case against a 51-year-old local resident accused of seven episodes of spreading fakes about the Russian army has been sent to court. The charges, aggravated by the motive of political and national hatred 1 , provide for a sentence of five to ten years in prison.

According to the prosecution's version, from August 2024 to February 2025, the Krasnodar resident published deliberately false information about the actions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during the special military operation on his social media page, accessible to an unlimited number of internet users.
