Have there been any convictions for Tor Exit-node in Russia?

Actually, recently people in uniform were invited to talk. During the conversation, it turned out that three months ago, a letter was sent from my ip to Vnukovo airport, with a message about a planted explosive device.
No one but me had access to the home Internet, but Exit-noda was running at that time. If the case goes to court, how can you prove that the fact that "sent from my ip" does not mean that I sent?
PS It is clear that SSZB. A word of caution, think twice before experimenting with Exit Tor nodes.
Update from 16.12. The FSB officers turned out to be more technically savvy, at least they understood about Tor, they said that in addition to mine, a couple more ips from abroad were lit up. They offered to provide a home laptop on a voluntary basis so that they could send a report that nothing was found. The review can take up to a week. I plan to cooperate, I hope for adequacy.
Update from 24.12. They returned the laptop from the check, they did not find anything interesting, the results were sent to Moscow. If there are no new questions, then that's it.

https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#FacingLegalTrouble - how to prove you were an exit node at a certain time.
Experience of the arrested operator of the torus (Austria): raided4tor.cryto.net
But in addition to the torus, he kept drugs and weapons at home.
Which department invited you?
Keep the community updated. It will be good (including for you) if the acts of police brutality become known to the largest number of people. I wish you success in dealing with the accusations!
(Offtopic) it is inconvenient to keep at home, as in the Russian Federation in general. If you really want to, then you need to keep an intermediate node at home, and the output node - on a server located in another country.
(Offtop2) By the way, it's correct to write Tor, not TOR.

I'll tell you a little about how things happen on the other side of the barricades, through the eyes of the provider. The provider receives a request for a unique identification of the subscriber, in the request for IP and the exact time, upon this request, the provider extracts information from the personal database and transfers it to the authorities, everything seems to be simple, but the user is responsible for any actions performed from his address. Regarding the torus, on the one hand, there are no legislative acts prohibiting its use, on the other hand, you provide an opportunity for an unlimited circle of people to use your channel on the Internet and you are responsible for their actions, provider activities must be licensed, they will not be able to get to the bottom specifically to the torus , will be able to conduct activities without a license, complicity in terrorism and anything else they can come up with with a great desire, here it is, could not translate the arrows and point to the one who did it for you - your fault. Hire a lawyer and go to all conversations with him, spend money now, but you are less likely to become a scapegoat for closing the next jackdaw.

More than two years have passed, and yesterday, April 10, 2017, mathematician and free software developer Dmitry Bogatov <[email protected]> was arrested [0] for "calling for terrorist activities or justifying terrorism". At home, he kept a public Tor exit node.
There is an investigation.

Better not hope, especially when you start to cooperate.
