A serviceman who lied about mining the railway station was sentenced to 5 years
As reported by ThePublic.info, this information is provided by «Court Reporter» citing the verdict.
On May 30, 2025, at approximately 18:53, while at his place of residence, a man called "102" and reported that the Zaporizhzhia-1 railway station was bombed. After an investigation and operational group inspection, no explosives were found on the railway station premises.
During the court session, the defendant admitted that he lied and asked not to punish him severely. The motives for the act are not specified in the verdict.
The prosecutor urged the court to consider the defendant's sincere remorse and active assistance in solving the crime and to sentence him to 4 years and 6 months of imprisonment.
The lawyer argued for a probationary sentence.
As it turned out, the military man has a previous conviction for a similar crime, meaning he was aware of the harmfulness of his actions. The court considers that the defendant's act could have had dangerous consequences, including delaying the evacuation of people from areas near the combat zone, crowding near the station, and so on.
Ultimately, the man was sentenced to 5 years of actual imprisonment.
