In a latest update reported by Mash via the Moika Telegram channel, officials say a 43-year-old man was detained near Nevskaya Dubrovka train station around nine o clock on the evening of April 4 as he attempted to depart the city. He faces two criminal charges: attacking a government official and insulting the feelings of believers, with authorities consolidating the cases into a single lawsuit for efficiency and clarity.
The incident involving Intigam Aliyev, described in traffic footage and subsequent police accounts, centers on a road confrontation on March 28. Aliyev, who was driving a Hyundai Solaris, allegedly attempted to move into a lane from the opposing lane. When the maneuver failed, he is said to have directed insults at both the registrar and another driver. That same day, a traffic stop occurred with the Solaris being halted by the traffic police. It is reported that Aliyev evaded the officers using sambo techniques, a claim that has fed into the broader narrative of this case as investigators review the events leading up to the confrontation and any subsequent actions by those involved.
At the heart of the proceedings is a criminal case charging violence against a government official under Article 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. A second charge corresponds to Part 1 of Article 148, which covers actions that express public disrespect and are aimed at insulting the religious sentiments of believers. Both charges have been brought and are being pursued under the same legal umbrella, reflecting the authorities intention to address multiple alleged offenses within one consolidated lawsuit.
Reportedly, prior to these developments there was an incident involving a taxi car on the Moscow Ring Road where a vehicle had come to a stop in a traffic corridor. The details of that event are being reviewed by the appropriate authorities as part of ongoing traffic and public safety monitoring in the region, with updates anticipated as investigations proceed.
