A Siberian court sentenced former customs officer Vitaly Alekseyev to 12 years in prison on February 9 on a charge of collaborating with the Freedom of Russia legion, which consists of Russian citizens who fight alongside Ukrainian armed forces against Moscow's invasion.
Investigators say he collected classified data for the legion, distributed leaflets with alleged terrorist content, and planned an arson attack at the local headquarters of the ruling United Russia party.
