A recently reported case from the Saratov region centers on a convicted individual who is contemplating selling a kidney to cover a fine and pursue parole in a criminal matter. The information appeared on the Basis Telegram channel, which has been cited as the source of the claim.
The individual, referred to as Usanova in official notices, received a sentence totaling 15 years for multiple charges. The defense team argued that the sentence should be recalibrated under certain conditions, noting that Usanova had already served more than a decade and had received various incentives, including support from local administrative authorities. Despite requests for parole or a sentence reduction, a key obstacle remained: an unpaid fine of 500,000 rubles that was required as part of the sentence.
In a recent interview, Usanova stated that meeting such a financial obligation is not feasible on a convict’s salary. The report adds that at one point a prosecutor suggested selling a kidney in response to accusations raised by Natalia, a claim that has since sparked significant attention online and in local media discussions.
Following these remarks, there were indications that the convict began to prepare the necessary paperwork to pursue a kidney sale, prompted by the prosecutor’s suggestion and the perceived need to find a legal route to satisfy the fine and secure parole.
Separately, researchers affiliated with Yonsei University discussed dietary factors that support kidney health, highlighting the importance of hydration, balanced nutrient intake, and lifestyle choices in maintaining kidney function. While unrelated to the legal case, the information underscores broader health considerations relevant to individuals who may experience stress or health concerns during lengthy prison terms.
