The Military Court of Appeal in Vlasikha "mitigated" the sentence of the journalist of the Dagestani publication "Chernovik" Abdulmumin Gadzhiev and two other defendants in the case, reducing the prison term by 2 months for each. Thus, Gadzhiev was sentenced to 16 years 10 months, Abubakar Rizvanov - to 17 years 10 months, Kemal Tambiev - to 17 years 4 months of imprisonment.

The sentence was changed at the request of the prosecution. The prosecutor said that the part of the charge that concerns 2009-2014 should be changed. He proposed to mitigate the punishment.

"I told how they falsified the transfer of money for the needs of ISIS, passing off an ordinary purchase of an air ticket through a travel agency. The verdict states that the travel agency details were provided to me by a certain ISIS member. Where is your evidence, who is this member? The court allowed Dagestani operatives to reach a new level of fabricating cases. Our verdict clearly showed that now there is no need to think twice even to fabricate evidence for the prosecution,” Gadzhiev said during the debate of the parties.

In September 2023, journalist Abdulmumin Gadzhiev was sentenced to 17 years in a maximum security penal colony, and Abubakar Rizvanov and Kemal Tambiev were sentenced to 18 and 17.5 years, respectively. The prosecution claimed that Gadzhiev supported ISIS terrorists with a transfer of 16 thousand rubles. All three were found guilty of participating in the activities of a terrorist organization and organizing its financing. The convicts themselves do not admit guilt.
