Case Description
In Penza in the summer of 2022, a criminal case was opened against Dmitry Volkov, who had a prior conviction. He was charged with publicly disseminating, under the guise of credible reports, knowingly false information containing details about the deployment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
According to investigators, on July 18, 2022, while serving his sentence at Penal Colony No. 5 in the Penza Region, Volkov publicly disseminated knowingly false information about the use of the Russian Armed Forces among other inmates. He told them false information claiming that Russian servicemen had murdered civilians in the city of Bucha and on Zmeiny Island, and that the Ukrainian military had burned the missile cruiser “Moscow.”
During the investigation, the defendant was subject to a court order requiring him to appear as directed.
On October 17, 2022, the Pervomaisky District Court of Penza found Dmitry Volkov guilty and sentenced him to one year of imprisonment, suspended for a probationary period of 1.5 years.
On December 7, 2022, the Penza Regional Court upheld the sentence.
