A soldier in Odesa was sentenced to imprisonment for illegal possession of ammunition. The man was caught by law enforcement who found 53 cartridges in his house. The man admitted his guilt, but previous convictions led to a strict punishment.
In this case, the soldier claimed that he found the firearms ammunition at home by accident. However, during the search, police discovered these munitions in his possession. Therefore, the court decided on his imprisonment.
Court ruling
