The Lefortovo District Court of Moscow registered a petition from the investigation to arrest A. E. Babkin in the case of treason (Article 275 of the Criminal Code). Mediazona found this information in the database of Moscow courts.
Materials about the arrest were received today, the date for consideration has not yet been set.
Over the past month, the Lefortovo court has arrested four defendants in cases under articles of treason. This is Plyske Yu.V. , Rasulov R.N. , Boyko E.Yu. and Dovgan A.S. Materials on such cases are classified, so it is impossible to find out any details of the accusation.
At the end of April, Vladimir Putin approved amendments that increased the maximum punishment under the article on treason - now, instead of 20 years in prison, courts will be able to impose sentences of up to life imprisonment on defendants.
