Lawyer Maria Buntzler was asked to serve 15 years in prison in a treason case.
The prosecutor asked the court to sentence Maria Bunzler to 15 years in prison. Lawyer Ilya Sidorov, who visited Bunzler in the detention center before the trial, reported this to Slobo Hagana.
Initially, Bunzler was charged under the section of "secret cooperation with a foreign country". In early March she was finally accused of treason.
Maria Buntzler defended defendants in political cases, including Igor Baryshnikov, who was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison in the "fake news" case about the army. Bunzler was arrested on May 28, 2025, and has been in pretrial detention ever since.
Then the investigation determined that in 2024 she allegedly transferred information about the local security forces "which she learned due to her advocacy activities" to the intelligence services of an "unfriendly" country.
