Ex-Senator Arashukov was refused transfer to a colony in Mordovia

The former senator from the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, Rauf Arashukov, who is serving a life sentence in the Black Dolphin, was refused transfer to a colony in Mordovia. This was reported to Izvestia on April 15 by his lawyer Dmitry Trubnikov.

"They refused. They asked for a transfer so that relatives could travel closer to him," said the defender, adding that the refusal would be appealed.

On January 13, the Leninsky District Court of Orenburg sentenced Arashukov to 10 years in a penal colony in a case of bribery. According to the investigation, Arashukov, through a lawyer, handed over a bribe of 3 million rubles to an employee of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Orenburg region for providing improved conditions of detention in the colony.

Arashukov was detained in late January 2019. Then, in St. Petersburg, law enforcement officers detained his father, Raul Arashukov. The investigation found the man to be the creator of an organized criminal group (OCG). In addition, the prosecution's version was proved that Rauf Arashukov, on the instructions of his father, organized the murders of two public figures in 2010 — Fral Shebzukhov, adviser to the President of the Chechen Republic, and Aslan Zhukov, deputy chairman of the Adage Hese youth movement, who hindered the activities of their organized crime group.

The court sentenced Arashukov to life imprisonment on December 27, 2022.
