At least one of the participants in the anti-Semitic pogrom at the Makhachkala Uytash airport was accused of attacking a policeman. Mediazona learned about this from the published data of the Supreme Court of Dagestan.
On December 8, the court received the 74th complaint against arrest under the article on participation in mass riots (Part 2 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code) from the Sovetsky District Court Makhachkala. Unlike all previous materials, the new prisoner was additionally accused of assaulting a law enforcement officer (Part 1 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code). There are no details on the court’s website, and the Supreme Court of the Republic itself previously informed Mediazona that they would not provide new information beyond what has already been published.
On the same day, December 8, the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, announced that after the pogrom, a criminal case was opened under articles on mass riots (212 of the Criminal Code) and “violation of aviation safety rules” (probably referring to Article 263.1 of the Criminal Code). He said nothing about the use of violence against police officers.
Although so far only 74 arrests have been appealed to a higher authority, the deputy chairman of the POC of Dagestan, Shamil Khadulaev, citing data from the Federal Penitentiary Service, said on December 3 that in total there are already “more than 130 people in the pre-trial detention center in this criminal case,” and “some more are hiding, they are being looked for.” .
In addition to the criminal case in Dagestan, they continue to draw up new protocols in connection with the pogrom at the airport under articles on violation of the rules for holding rallies (20.2 of the Administrative Code) and on the organization of mass simultaneous stay of citizens (20.2.2 of the Administrative Code). According to the results of the first week of December, as Mediazona found out, the district courts received reports against 741 people.
An anti-Semitic pogrom occurred at Makhachkala airport on the evening of October 29, when a regular flight from Tel landed there -Aviva. Hundreds of Dagestanis came to meet him; they broke into the airport building with Palestinian flags and began to look for Jews, for which they checked the passports of all passengers on arriving flights.
