Overview
- Leninsky District Court in Orenburg sentenced Arashukov to 10 years and imposed a 120 million‑ruble fine, with his overall punishment left as life in a special‑regime colony.
- Prosecutors said he offered a 6 million‑ruble bribe to an FSIN employee to avoid discipline, secure monthly visits and unlimited parcels, and select a cellmate convicted of a terrorist‑related crime.
- Investigators reported that his lawyer hid 3 million rubles in caches in August and October 2024, the FSIN employee alerted authorities, and a total of 6 million rubles was confiscated.
- The prosecution had requested 12 years and a 420 million‑ruble fine, but the court set the penalty at 10 years with a fine equal to 20 times the bribe amount.
- The defense says Arashukov denies guilt and plans to appeal, and materials concerning the lawyer were separated into a distinct proceeding.
