Six more defendants appeared in the “Moscow case”

The Investigative Committee continues to believe that mass riots took place in Moscow in the summer: the ICR wrote about six more people who attacked the security forces. It is only about cases under Part 1 of Art. 318 of the Criminal Code (use of violence against a representative of the authorities) without Article 212 (participation in mass riots), but the release is titled “In the course of the investigation of the criminal case on the July mass riots, six persons who used violence against law enforcement officers were identified.”

What happened

Four new defendants - Yegor Lesnykh, Maxim Martintsov, Andrei Barshai, Vladimir Yemelyanov - were detained, searches were carried out at their place of residence, writes the TFR. Two more unnamed persons fled the investigation.
According to investigators, on July 27 at Rozhdestvenka, “Yegor Lesnykh and Maxim Martintsov, acting as a group of people, attacked a National Guard officer and knocked him to the sidewalk. In addition, Lesnykh kicked another law enforcement officer.” Barshai, writes the Investigative Committee, “attacked an employee of the Russian Guard, pushing him in the back with a running start,” and Yemelyanov “forced” the Russian guard, “obstructing the performance of official duties.” The investigation has witness statements and video materials.
The Investigative Committee expects that charges will be brought against all detainees in the near future, after which the investigation will apply to the court with a request to select a measure of restraint for them.
about a new round of the “Moscow case” wrote An informed Baza Telegram channel . Along with the data on the interrogation of three from the list of detainees of the TFR, it contained information about searches at the home of Danny Kulinich, a member of the “Decommunization” movement. According to Meduza , Kulinich is also in the status of a suspect.

Context. In early September, the case of the mass riots on July 27 actually fell apart - the charges against people who were charged under one article 318 were dropped. But those against whom it was possible to build a charge under the article on violence against police officers began to receive real terms .

A week ago, the Moscow City Court upheld the sentence - 2 years in prison - to Danila the Runaway, who pulled the policeman by the hand. At the same time, the Fugitive agreed to consider the case in a special manner. On October 9, the court reduced the sentence of Ivan Podkopaev, who sprayed a gas canister on the shares, by one year, to two years, and also pleaded guilty. At the same time, the sentence to Kirill Zhukov (three years), who touched the helmet of the National Guard, was upheld. Yevgeny Kovalenko (he was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison because a man threw a trash can towards an riot policeman at a rally on July 27) is awaiting an appeal.
