Overview
- Domodedovo City Court convicted the actress under Article 229.1 for narcotics contraband after 0.38 grams of hashish oil were found in a vape during August 28 customs control at Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport.
- Tarasova received a three-year suspended term and a 200,000‑ruble fine, with obligations to register monthly and notify authorities before any change of residence.
- The court ordered the vape transferred to the Interior Ministry for destruction.
- The prosecutor had requested three and a half years suspended, while the defense sought greater leniency, calling the quantity negligible and noting the case would differ outside an airport; the prosecution said the vape was for personal use.
- In her final statement Tarasova admitted guilt, called the episode a tragic accident, and the court received positive character references from Sergei Bezrukov, Yevgeny Mironov, Alexander Tsypkin and Alexei German Jr.
