A member of the Kirov organized crime group was convicted of drug trafficking.
The Lenin District Court of Kirov previously issued a verdict in a criminal case against a woman. She was found guilty on several counts:
illegal possession of drugs in significant amounts (part 1 of article 228 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation)
attempted illegal sale and illegal sale of drugs in large quantities (part 3 of article 30, subparagraphs "a", "g" of part 4 of article 228.1, part 5 of article 228.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation)
money laundering obtained through criminal means (part 2 of article 174.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
According to the investigation, from May 2022 to March 2025, the defendant, together with accomplices, organized a large-scale distribution of narcotic substances in the Kirov region. The criminals operated remotely — via the internet.
The illegal income from this activity exceeded 2.5 million rubles. The accused attempted to legalize this money to conceal its criminal origin.
During the preliminary investigation, the woman cooperated with the authorities: she provided testimony that helped uncover the activities of other members of the criminal group. On this basis, the prosecutor entered into a pre-trial agreement with her.
Taking this circumstance into account, the Lenin District Court sentenced the defendant to 7 years of imprisonment in a general regime colony and a fine of 50,000 rubles.
However, the prosecution appealed the verdict. As a result, the court ordered the confiscation of all income that the woman received from criminal activity.
