An appellate court in Ingushetia has sentenced two residents of the republic — Ahmed Sakalov and Muhammad Tumgoev — to lengthy prison terms in a case concerning the preparation of a sabotage attack on a fuel and energy facility, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) on Wednesday. According to the agency, Tumgoev and Sakalov received 12 and 13-year sentences in maximum-security prisons, respectively. In recent months, several criminal cases involving accusations of preparing sabotage attacks and illegal trafficking of weapons and explosives have been under consideration in Ingushetia. Earlier, three residents of Ingushetia — two of whom were minors at the time of their detention — were accused of preparing a terrorist attack on a church in Sunzha on the instructions of a handler based abroad. At the time, it was reported that the order to attack the church had been sent from Syria.
