The court left singer Charlotte in a penal colony.

The Samara Regional Court rejected the appeal of convicted singer Eduard Charlotte against the decision to transfer him from a penal colony to a general regime institution. This was reported to Izvestia in court on October 8.

The court rejected the appeal, and the singer was kept in a penal colony. It is noted that Charlotte was removed from the court session for violating the order.

During his stay in the penal colony, the artist was found to have 19 violations, was reprimanded and sent to a detention center, and the singer was recognized as a malicious violator of order.

Charlotte also tried to get the lawyer dismissed, but this request was also rejected by the court.

The singer was detained at Pulkovo Airport on November 22, 2023, where he arrived from Yerevan. The artist was transferred to Samara. On November 30, three criminal cases were initiated against him — on two counts of rehabilitating Nazism (Part 4 of Article 354.1 of the Criminal Code) and one of insulting the feelings of believers (Article 148 of the Criminal Code). On December 27, 2024, Charlotte was sentenced to 5.5 years for rehabilitating Nazism. The court also dismissed the criminal case on the theft or damage of documents (Article 325 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). During the hearing, the singer apologized to the residents of Russia.

Charlotte was transferred from a penal colony to a general regime penal colony on August 18, 2025. During the period of serving his sentence, he incited other convicts to negative behavior and violated regime requirements, for which he was repeatedly disciplined.

The singer was refused in court on September 12 to be sent to the special military operation zone. It is clarified that the musician's defense requested that he be sent to his detention center, but the court refused the lawyers. It was noted that the singer asked to go to the front several times, but each time, for some unknown reason, he changed his mind.
