Russia’s FSB exposes Krasnodar prisoner recruiting inmates for treason

A convict in a correctional facility in Russia’s Krasnodar region was recruiting fellow inmates to commit treason, according to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) Public Relations Centre.

The individual encouraged prisoners to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defence, deploy to the special military operation zone, and then defect to join a Ukrainian terrorist organisation.

The recruiter’s activities were uncovered through a joint operation by the FSB and the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service. A criminal case has been opened against him for aiding terrorist activities and preparing to incite treason, crimes punishable by up to life imprisonment.
