In Moscow, two participants in the September 9 action were arrested under criminal charges.

Until November 9, the Khamovnichesky District Court in Moscow arrested Viktor Fedoseev and Vasily Kostylev, participants in protests against pension reform, under a criminal article on the use of violence against a policeman. This is reported by the correspondent of "Mediazona" from the courtroom.

Judge Andrey Lutov recognized the petition of the investigation for the arrest of Fedoseyev and Kostylev as justified. Both were accused of using violence against a representative of the authorities (part 1 of article 318 of the Criminal Code). Fedoseev and Kostylev were detained the day after the September 9 protests in Moscow.

In the petition, the investigator pointed out that the guilt of the suspects was confirmed by the testimonies of the victims, witnesses and other evidence. In both cases, the investigator argued the request for arrest by the fact that Fedoseyev and Kostylev could hide from the investigation and put pressure on witnesses, Mediazona reports.

In the case of Fedoseev, the investigator provided the court with a report on the information contained on the Internet, that is, screenshots from the videos. According to the investigator, the images show cases of blows to policeman Fedoseyev. Lawyer Sergei Badamshin, representing the interests of the accused, noted that in the video Fedoseev "resisted" under the blows of batons. At the action on September 9, Fedoseev received a head injury, he also had bruises on his arms.

In the petition, the investigator noted that Viktor Kostylev had previously been brought under administrative articles 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (disobedience to lawful demands of a police officer) and 19.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (failure to take measures to eliminate the conditions for committing an administrative offense). Badamshin, in turn, noted that Kostylev is employed, he has a wife and a young child suffering from hemophilia.

Before the trial, the defendants were in temporary detention center No. 1. They did not testify, referring to Article 51 of the Constitution.
