A resident of the Rostov region is suspected of financing terrorism.

Investigators in Rostov-on-Don reported on the criminal prosecution of a resident of Shakhty, who was caught by the FSB in money transfers to a banned organization.

The suspect is 56 years old. The man is charged under the article on financing terrorism (part 1.1 of article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of Russia), which provides for a prison sentence of eight to fifteen years.

According to the investigation, the resident of Shakhty made money transfers in favor of an organization that is recognized as terrorist and banned in Russia in 2024-2025. The man “knew for sure” about its ban, the Rostov Investigative Committee reported.

Law enforcement conducted a search at the suspect's home and seized certain items significant for the investigation of the criminal case. “Necessary examinations have been appointed for the seized items,” the official Telegram channel publication notes. The specific items in question are not specified.

The agency added that investigators are checking the suspect for possible involvement in “other episodes of illegal activity.”

Investigators did not report what preventive measure was chosen for the suspect. The message also does not mention the man's occupation, the amount of his money transfers, and the name of the organization that received the money. The “Caucasian Knot” currently does not have comments from the suspect or his lawyer regarding the investigation's version.

“Caucasian Knot” also reported that the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Vitaly Ilyushin, a native of Volgograd, to 12 years in a penal colony for transferring more than 149 thousand rubles to an organization recognized as terrorist in Russia. It also became known in October that a resident of Novocherkassk, Yevgeny Stepanov, was sentenced to nine years in prison for transferring more than 32 thousand rubles to a person associated with a terrorist community.
