A Yekaterinburg court imposed a fine of 260,000 rubles ($3,260) against the city’s former mayor Evgeny Roizman on Friday for allegedly “discrediting” the Russian military, granting the request made by prosecutors on Thursday.

The court also left in place a “restriction on certain actions,” which bars Roizman from using the Internet, phones, and snail mail, among other things, satisfying another request from the prosecution.

The felony “discrediting” case against Roizman was first opened in the summer of 2022, after he was charged with three misdemeanors for the offense and fined 150,000 rubles ($1,873).
