Pskov court found Estonian citizen Kokhver guilty of espionage against Russia
49
The Pskov court completed the examination of the case of Estonian police officer Eston Kohver and sentenced him to 15 years in a penal colony with a fine of 100 thousand rubles. Kokhver was convicted of espionage against the Russian Federation, as well as of repeated illegal border crossing and illegal possession and storage. weapons. RIA News reports that the public prosecutor demanded for Kohvera 16 years of imprisonment and 200 thousands of rubles of fine, but the court decided otherwise. At the end of the court hearing, answering the judge's question, Kokhver said that he understood the sentence.
It should be recalled that Eston Kokhver was detained in September of the last year in the Pskov Region, after which he was taken to the Russian capital, where the court authorized his arrest. During the detention, Kokhver was confiscated with a pistol, ammunition for him, a tape recorder with records relating to the state secret of the Russian Federation, as well as materials shedding light on Kokhver's involvement in espionage in the Russian Federation. At the same time, Kohver did not have the documents necessary for entry into Russia.
In Estonia, they say that the Russian side fabricated the case against Kokhver, and Kokhver himself was allegedly kidnapped by Russian special services from the territory of Estonia. Why would the Russian special services need the abduction of an Estonian police officer with the subsequent "export" of him to the territory of the Russian Federation? - Official Tallinn does not argue. Instead, Tallinn declares that Russia is violating the law, since "it has no right to judge a citizen of a country belonging to the European Union." Regarding violations of the law and the conviction of citizens by a court of a foreign state of Estonia, it would be nice to consult with Washington ...
