The Moscow Directorate of the Investigative Committee has finished the investigation against Abduvakhob Madzhidov, Ruslan Shamsuarov and Viktor Uskov charged with crimes under Part 1 of Article 318 (threat of violence against representative of the authority) and Article 319 of the RF Penal Code (insult of a representative of 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. They filmed everything what was happening providing their actions with insults and posted the video on the Internet.

Soon the accused and their lawyers will start reading the case files in accordance with Article 217 of the RF Criminal Procedure Code and after they are finished the case will be sent for the indictment to be approved and then to be referred to court.

We remind that if Article 319 of the RF Penal Code bears the maximum punishment of community work for a period of up to a year, then for committing a crime under Part 1 of Article 318 the accused face up to 5 years of jail.
