The Second Western District Military Court in Moscow has sentenced a 33‑year‑old citizen of Uzbekistan to 15 years in prison after finding her guilty of assisting in the financing of terrorism. Citing the Moscow Prosecutor’s Office, Fergana News reports that the woman will serve her sentence in a general‑regime penal colony.
Investigators reportedly determined that in October 2022, while living in Moscow, Mahbubakhon Khusanboy qizi Urinboyeva provided an acquaintance with the details of her bank card and account registered in her name. She also gave him access credentials to her online banking account, effectively allowing unrestricted use of her finances.
Using this information, the man received 6,500 rubles into Urinboyeva’s account and then transferred the funds to a third party. The money was later cashed out outside Russia and directed toward supporting the activities of a terrorist organization.
Although the prosecutor's office did not identify the group, TASS reports that it refers to Katiba Tawhid wal‑Jihad, an international terrorist organization banned in Russia whose members fight in Syria.
Urinboyeva’s actions were classified under Part 5 of Article 33 and Part 4 of Article 205.1 of Russia’s Criminal Code — assistance in the organization of terrorism financing.
The woman denied all charges in court.
The verdict has not yet entered into legal force, and the defense retains the right to appeal.
