The High Court of Niš has sentenced the former head of the SSU's Main Department of Internal Security, Andrii Naumov, to a year in prison on charges of money laundering.
This was reported by Radio Liberty.
Naumov was arrested on June 7, 2022, when he was trying to get from Serbia to North Macedonia.
During the inspection of his car, Serbian police found money and diamonds that "probably originated from criminal activity".
The State Bureau of Investigation served Naumov with two suspicions - abuse of office and fraud and causing damage to the state in excess of UAH 3.2 million. The Niš High Court rejected Ukraine's extradition request in July.
Andrii Naumov is the subject of a number of journalistic investigations into smuggled imports and corruption schemes at customs. Skhemy also reported that he travelled abroad on February 23, 2022, the day before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
It will be recalled that Russia offered Naumov asylum in exchange for his participation in the "tribunal" over Zelenskyy.
