The Leninsky District Court of Yekaterinburg closed a criminal case of hooliganism against a local resident Alexander Neustroev, who insulted a child in a hat with the letter Z. This is reported by TASS with reference to the press service of the court.
Neustroev was assigned judicial fine of seven thousand rubles. He was accused of committing hooliganism with the threat of violence motivated by political hatred (paragraphs «a», «b» of part 2 of Article 213 of the Criminal Code). The decision to dismiss the case was made on June 9, but it became known only now.
According to investigators, on April 21, a man insulted a schoolboy and swore at him because of a hat with the Z symbol. The incident took place in Yekaterinburg near a house on Volgogradskaya Street, the intercom camera recorded the incident. A few days later, the video was published by local media. The child's mother said that the Yekaterinburg resident «began to molest» the student because of the hat, «insulted» him and «tried to grab», but this was not captured on video.
The video shows how Neustroev shouts after the child: “Bitch, put this hat in your ass. Damn, motherfucker. To your parents [tell]. Idiot. Call your father here.» Then he told about what happened to his friend, who left the entrance: “Yes, the boy is wearing a hat Z. This is generally a scribe <…> It's not his fault, he's 15 years old already. Maybe put it in yourself … It's hot outside. If it had been cold, I would not have said anything.”
As a result, the Investigative Committee began a check, then the security forces opened a criminal case and detained Neustroev with the help of OMON fighters. The representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs explained the presence of reinforcements during the arrest by the need to «rule out possible armed resistance.» Soon, the UK published a video with an apology from Yekaterinburg. The court chose a preventive measure «not related to isolation from society.»
