A serviceman from the Rostov region was sentenced to 14 years in prison for treason

Rostov-on-Don, the Southern District Military Court punished Corporal Ilya Trachuk 14 for years strict regime colonies.

The man was found guilty in the case of treason and illegal access to state secrets. The TASS agency writes about this.

It is reported that the soldier was also stripped of his military rank. “By the verdict of the Southern District Military Court, Trachuk was sentenced to 14 years in a strict regime colony with the deprivation of the military rank of corporal,” the source said.

As you know, the case was heard in a general manner and behind closed doors, because in its materials is marked “secret”. The verdict has not yet entered into force and can be appealed on appeal. From the garrison military court of Rostov-on-Don, it became known that in 2022 the man was brought to justice twice for gross disciplinary offenses.

It is worth noting that today, on April 25, the sentence of a contract soldier who received 5.5 years of general regime for unauthorized leaving of a military unit during the mobilization period came into force. His lawyers believe that the verdict was too harsh and does not take into account the fact that private Vitaly Matkin, who served in the coastal part of the Northern Fleet, is dependent on three young children and his wife, and the contract with him should have been terminated.
