The case of the bitten guard
On August 1, 2005, RIA Novosti disseminated information that Sergei Reznichenko, one of the defendants in the case of the seizure of the public reception of the presidential administration, attacked the bodyguard of police sergeant R. Drobkol when he was escorting him to the building of the Tverskoy court, and bit his.
On August 4, 2005, the Nikulinsky Interdistrict Prosecutor's Office initiated a criminal case against S. Reznichenko under Art. 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("use of violence against a representative of authority").
However, representatives of the NBP claim that, in reality, on August 1, before the start of the meeting, a police sergeant struck several blows with a rubber baton on the defendant Reznichenko, after he stumbled and slowed down the movement of the defendants National Bolsheviks (they are escorted by five people on a chain). Reznichenko's lawyer Mikhail Stepanov intends to send a complaint about this to the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation.
"When ... Stepanov announced that he would send a statement on this matter to the Prosecutor General's Office, the state prosecutors remained silent the NBP said in a statement , " .
