Party participants with a portrait of Hitler will appear in court for petty hooliganism

A court in Moscow will consider the administrative cases of those detained at a party supposedly held in honor of Hitler's birthday. Minor hooliganism reports were drawn up against 17 people. “As of this morning, there are 17 people in the police departments of the Internal Affairs Directorate in the South-Eastern Administrative District, against whom administrative protocols have been issued under the article “petty hooliganism.” All of them will be brought to court to resolve the issue of bringing them to administrative responsibility,” told the Moscow police press service TASS. The rest of the detainees were released after preventive conversations. About 40 people were detained by police late at night at a club on Dubrovka; according to law enforcement agencies, knives, brass knuckles and traumatic weapons, as well as a portrait of Adolf Hitler, were confiscated from them. Allegedly, those gathered intended to celebrate the birthday of the Nazi dictator. Among the detainees was the leader of the “Russian” movement, Dmitry Demushkin, who confirmed that the police broke into the club and took the people there to the police station, but denied information about the celebration of Hitler’s birthday. According to Demushkin, those gathered discussed a knife fighting tournament scheduled for May 17.
