A Russian court has sentenced former hospital programmer Alexander Levchishin to 14 years in a high-security penal colony for treason. Levchishin, 37, was convicted for accessing and leaking personal medical records of Russian soldiers to Ukrainian intelligence in April 2022. Authorities reported that he transmitted this sensitive information to Ukrainian agents for dissemination through a Telegram channel. The case underscores the severe legal repercussions in Russia for individuals accused of espionage or treachery, especially in the current geopolitical climate.
The court in the Russian Irkutsk region found 37-year-old Alexander Levchishin guilty of treason after he copied electronic medical records of Russian military personnel from his workplace computer.
Investigators said he sent this data to Ukrainian intelligence services to post on a Telegram channel reportedly operated by Ukrainian agents.
