Russia jails IT worker for 13 years for donating money to Ukraine

A Russian military court has sentenced an IT specialist to 13 years in prison for financing “terrorism” after the cryptocurrency exchange Binance gave Russian investigators details of his donations to Ukrainian fundraising campaigns. The 2nd Western District Military Court on Monday convicted 49-year-old Yuri Belenkiy and sentenced him to three years in prison followed by 10 years in a strict-regime penal colony, according to a court statement. Russian state news agency TASS reported that Belenkiy is a former IT director of the company DiHouse and that prosecutors had asked for 14 years. He was also fined 500,000 roubles ($6,300). Belenkiy, who holds a Bulgarian residence permit, was detained in September last year when he flew to Moscow for a visit.
