The Moscow Directorate of the Investigative Committee has initiated criminal proceeding against Abduvakhob Madzhidov, Ruslan Shamsuarov and other individuals suspected of a crime under Part 1 of Article 318 of the RF Penal Code (threat of violence against representative of the authority).

According to investigators, on 22 May 2016, Madzhidov together with Shamsuarov and some unidentified people were driving a Mercedes-Benz car on Leninsky Avenue in the direction of the Moscow Circuit Highway grossly violating the road code. The young people realized that traffic policemen tried to stop them and followed them in a police car with special sings and signals, but still they continued making dangerous moves which posed threat to lives and health of the police officers.

I remind that Article 318 of the RF Penal Code bears punishment of up to 5 years in prison. There is an ongoing investigation against the suspect over insult of representatives of the authority (Article 319 of the RF Penal Code).

At present a set of investigative operations are underway to collect and register evidence. The investigation is ongoing.
