A court has recognized the evidence gathered by the Volga Transport Investigations Office of the Investigative Committee sufficient to convict a resident of Moscow. The woman was found guilty of a crime under Part 2, items “b” and “h” of Article 127.1 of the RF Penal Code (selling or buying a minor).

The investigation and court have revealed that in June 2015, the accused got acquainted with a woman from Nizhny Novgorod Region to buy a baby via the Internet. The women entered a criminal conspiracy and agreed on a sum of 100,000 rubles for a child. In late July 2015, the accused took the baby from the Nizhny Novgorod railway station.

The court has sentenced the woman to 3 years of probation.

In addition, the woman from Nizhny Novgorod Region, who had sold the baby, was sentenced earlier to 5 years of probation.
