The son of the Supreme Court judge of Tatarstan was sentenced to six years in prison for the case of "military fakes" and "justification of terrorism."

      In addition, Marat Gilmanov was found guilty of "calls for extremism."

      The Central District Military Court sentenced Marat Gilmanov to six years in a penal colony on April 17 for "spreading military fakes," "calls for extremism," and "justifying terrorism." This was reported by the court's press service to "OVD-Info." In addition to the main punishment, the man was also banned from administering websites for three years. What exactly prompted the initiation of the criminal case is not reliably known. Last December, "Arguments and Facts - Kazan" reported that the article on "justifying terrorism" was attributed to Gilmanov due to comments about the attack on "Crocus City Hall" and the war in Ukraine. According to "Business Online," Gilmanov attracted the attention of the FSB after he published an offensive comment about Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh under a post in an unnamed Telegram channel. "Izvestia" reported that Gilmanov "has repeatedly published radical comments and articles justifying the massive attack of Ukrainian drones on Crimea in August 2023 on pro-Ukrainian Telegram channels and chats since December 2022." Information about the detention of Marat Gilmanov became known at the end of 2024. "Business Online" wrote that the man studied and lived in Moscow for several years but returned to Tatarstan in 2024 and got a job "at one of the industrial enterprises in Yelabuga." The man's father, Radik Gilmanov, has been a judge of the Supreme Court of Tatarstan for over 20 years. Subscribe to our channel on Telegram.
