The Urals Federal District Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation continues investigating a criminal case over mass disorders that took place on 29 August 2010 during the Tornado rock music festival in the Chelyabinsk Region.

In the near future investigators are going to charge Strigunov with a crime under part 2 of article 212 of the RF Criminal Code (participation in mass riots) and initiate a custodial restraint against him.
