Moscow's Preobrazhensky District Court sentenced a minor to two years in a juvenile correctional colony over an action outside the apartments of three Roskomnadzor officials, Verstka found after locating the verdict in court records. In April 2026, the teenager placed hammers covered in fake blood outside their doors.
According to the case materials, an unidentified organiser offered 28,000 roubles for carrying out the action. The amount and description of the organiser's role come from the prosecution's version; the published information does not independently establish that person's identity or motives.
The teenager alleged that he had been tortured during the investigation. According to Verstka, after examining his complaints law enforcement authorities found no grounds to open a separate criminal investigation into torture. The refusal to open a case does not in itself establish that the treatment described by the teenager did not occur.
