Uneasy was yesterday at the Moscow District Military Court. He held a meeting at which an unofficial case was considered. The media were not allowed to attend hearings that were held in closed mode.

However, some details of the case became known to "Kommersant".

In the dock was a private contractor Artem Khilko. He was accused of. 348 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Violation of the rules for the saving of weapons, ammunition or military equipment entrusted for official use, if this entailed their loss through negligence").

During the trial, the soldier fully admitted his guilt and asked the judge about the minimum punishment. The prosecution asked him a fine of 50 thousand. Rubles.

The court, having taken into account the fact that Khilko is being brought to criminal responsibility for the first time, is positively characterized by the command of his unit and is a participant in the hostilities, did not recover from him even the takuu sum. A source close to the trial Kommersant said that the soldier was fined "for a minimum amount" and he "will be able to continue his service in the armed forces".

This was the easiest foreclosure. After all, the maximum punishment under this article provides for imprisonment for a period of two years, and the minimum for such an offense punishable by a fine of up to 80 thousand. Rubles.

Khilko as part of the 2nd Guards Motorized Rifle Taman Division participated in the provision of military operations in Syria.

He and his fellow servicemen took cargoes arriving at the Navy base in Tartous and delivered them to their addressees under their own protection.

During the regular loading operations the private forgot to take off the machine, which was hung on board the cargo "Ural". On the road, weapons, most likely, was lost. The military investigation thoroughly examined this matter, and the version of the possible sale of weapons was completely ruled out.

This criminal case against the contractor was one of the first initiated against a Russian military member of the operation in Syria.
