October 15, 2013 - 12:48 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Authorities in Moscow have detained at least three
people suspected of involvement in anti-migrant riots that targeted
a vegetable warehouse in the city's south over the weekend, police
said Tuesday, October 15, according to RIA Novosti.
Deputy city police chief Oleg Baranov said at a City Hall meeting
that police are holding two Moscow residents and one person from the
surrounding region.
He gave no information about what role the individuals may have had
in the unrest, which injured dozens, including six police officers.
Hundreds of people were detained by police overnight Sunday and on
Monday in response to the violence that erupted after protests over
the fatal stabbing of a 25-year-old man on Saturday spiraled out
of control.
The killer, who police identified Tuesday as being from the former
Soviet republic of Azerbaijan, remains at large.
Police said Tuesday morning that around 70 people are facing minor
administrative charges over the clashes in the neighborhood of
Biryulyovo.
RIA Novosti's Rapsi legal news agency cited a local court as saying
23 people have been ordered to pay fines ranging from 500 rubles
($15) to 3,000 rubles ($93).
Baranov blamed the violence on an unidentified group of young men,
who he said were joined by discontented members of the public from
the neighborhood.
"These were separate groups," he said. "So far, we can't say which
district they came from."
