Sushkevich Valentin Valentinovich

A criminal case was opened in Magadan for "failure to report preparation of a terrorist act" against 36-year-old local resident Valentin Sushkevich. The date the case was opened is unknown. According to the investigation, on September 19, 2023, during a personal conversation with his acquaintance Ekaterina Gazieva, Sushkevich received reliable information that she intended, on the orders of unidentified persons acting in the interests of Ukraine, to set fire to the building of the Military Commissariat of the Magadan Region. On September 21, 2023, the warehouse premises of the Military Commissariat of the Magadan Region were set on fire. It is claimed that the arson was committed by 20-year-old Ekaterina Gazieva together with 34-year-old Sergey Malyuchenko. Allegedly, they did this on the orders of a "Ukrainian curator" who offered 50 thousand rubles and also transferred 3.5 thousand to buy rags, bottles, and an incendiary mixture. On the same day, during a personal conversation with Gazieva and Malyuchenko, Sushkevich allegedly learned that it was they who committed the arson but did not report it to law enforcement agencies. On August 1, 2024, the Magadan City Court of the Magadan Region found Valentin Sushkevich guilty and sentenced him to 6 months in prison. By partially combining the imposed sentence with the sentence imposed by the verdict of the magistrate judge of Justice of the Peace Court No. 6 of the Magadan Judicial District of the Magadan Region dated May 2, 2024, the court finally sentenced him to 2 years and 10 months in prison to be served in a strict regime correctional colony. The verdict was not appealed and entered into legal force.
