Convicted singer Charlotte was transferred to a general regime colony

Singer Eduard Charlotte was transferred from a penal colony to a general regime penal colony. This was announced on Monday, August 18, by the press service of the Prosecutor's office of the Samara region.

"The Tolyatti Prosecutor's Office for the Supervision of Law Enforcement in Correctional Institutions supported the submission of the correctional institution administration on the transfer of Eduard Charlotte from a penal colony to a general regime penal colony," the department's Telegram channel says.

It is clarified that during the period of serving his sentence, Charlotte incited other convicts to negatively directed behavior and violated regime requirements, for which he was repeatedly disciplined.

Charlotte was detained at Pulkovo Airport on November 22, 2023, where he arrived from Yerevan. The artist was transferred to Samara. On November 30, three criminal cases were initiated against him — on two counts of rehabilitating Nazism (Part 4 of Article 354.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and one of insulting the feelings of believers (Article 148 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

On December 27, 2024, Charlotte was sentenced to 5.5 years for rehabilitating Nazism. The court also dismissed the criminal case on the theft or damage of documents (Article 325 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). During the hearing, the singer apologized to the residents of Russia.
