Crimeans received for three 45 years in prison in the case of treason

Three Crimeans who watched the radio broadcast of the Black Sea Fleet on behalf of Ukrainian intelligence were sentenced to 16, 17 and 12 years in a strict regime colony. This was reported to the FSB. The personal data of the Crimeans, as well as the circumstances of their detention, are not disclosed. In respect of each of the defendants, a criminal case was initiated on treason as part of a group of persons by prior conspiracy.

According to the FSB, the native of Crimea was recruited by Ukrainian intelligence during a trip to Poland in the fall of 2023. He brought in two more residents of the peninsula. The men received special means to intercept radio signals. They installed them in Sevastopol, and then Novorossiysk, for remote control of the radio in the locations of the Black Sea Fleet ships.

According to the investigation, the activities of the Crimeans would allow the Ukrainian military and special services to obtain accurate data on the composition of ship groups, the level of their combat readiness, the plans of the command, as well as adjust missile strikes and UAV attacks in real time.
