The Prosecutor's Office of North Ossetia brought high treason charges against Eduard Gobozov, a department head in the Defense Ministry of South Ossetia. North Ossetia is a Russian constituency; South Ossetia is a Georgian breakaway province recognized by Russia as an independent state in the wake of the 2008 Russian-Georgian war. Gobozov is accused of selling secret information on Russian armed forces in South Ossetia to Georgian intelligence in 2004-2009. Since Gobozov, as most South Ossetian residents, is a Russian citizen, the charge is “high treason” rather than mere “espionage.” The prosecutors finalized the investigation and passed the case to a Russian court (Supreme Court of North Ossetia).
