Two more defendants in the “Network” case were taken to intermediate transfer points in the colony

Convicted in the Penza “Network” case, Andrei Chernov and Ilya Shakursky, were taken to intermediate transfer points. This was reported by the Rupression telegram channel.

According to the channel, Chernov is now in pre-trial detention center No. 1 in Saratov on his way to the Udmurt colony. “If you write to him today, then with a high probability the letter will find him in Saratov,” the telegram channel reports . Shakursky was transported from pre-trial detention center-2 of Mordovia, located in Ruzaevka, to IK-18 of Mordovia in the village of Potma. “Most likely, he will be there at a transit point (TPP), from where he will then go to the place of serving his sentence in one of the Mordovian colonies,” write the authors of the channel.
