The Moscow Directorate of the Investigative Committee has charged Abduvakhob Madzhidov, Ruslan Shamsuarov and Viktor Uskov with crimes under Part 1 of Article 318 of the RF Penal Code (threat of violence against representative of the authority) and Article 319 (insult of representative of the authority).

According to investigators, on 22 May 2016, Madzhidov, Shamsuarov and Uskov were driving a Mercedes-Benz 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. The accused caught it all on their cell phone cameras and posted the video on the Internet accompanying their actions with insults in the address of the police officers.

All the accused have been released on recognizance. The investigation continues.
