Person:notes | Natalia Borisenkova is a judge and Deputy Chairman at Nagatinsky District Court in Moscow, Russia. She was appointed in 2012 by decree of President Vladimir Putin. Natalia Borisenkova was the appointed judge in a politically motivated case, namely the trial concerning four journalists, K. Gabov, S. Karelin, A. Kriger and A. Favorskaya, who wrote about the late Alexei Navalny. The court proceedings against the journalists took place behind closed doors from August 2024 until 15 April 2025. Judge Natalia Borisenkova sentenced the four journalists to terms of imprisonment of 5,5 years for their alleged “involvement in an ‘extremist’ group”, namely the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) of late Alexei Navalny. The trial was characterised by arbitrary and unfair proceedings authorised by Natalia Borisenkova, with hearings taking place behind closed doors. The decision to sentence the journalists was made by Natalia Borisenkova on arbitrary grounds, invoking alleged “extremist activities” which is an allegation used extensively in Russia against opposition groups. | ru_acf_bribetakers | acf-339ce4519ccca14586b536e1298e8a47d042aa61 | ||||
