The court issued a verdict in the murder case at the Hmeymim airbase.

In 2017, the Marine of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Ruslan Ilyasov, in a quarrel with his subordinate, a sailor of the contract service of the marine infantry of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Almaz Abutaliev, killed the latter in front of his colleagues. The incident occurred at the Russian military airbase “Hmeimim” in Syria, and today in the afternoon the court delivered a verdict to the accused of murder.

The Kirovsky court of Astrakhan decided to punish Ruslan Ilyasov with a restriction on military service for a term of 22 months, pay out to the injured party 300 thousand rubles, and throughout the entire restriction on military service pay the state 20% of income.

According to experts, the decision made by the court is extremely mild, especially since there were no extenuating circumstances at the time of the murder, which the injured party also stated.

“This is a murder, and purposeful. One can figure out what was the reason for this, but this does not change the essence "- analysts say.

No official comments from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation have yet been received on this account.
