A criminal case has been opened against two employees of the private security company known as LLC Security Agency Scorpion under Part 1 of Article 203 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The charge concerns excess of authority by an employee of a private security organization. If convicted, the guards could face a prison sentence of up to two years or a substantial fine. The Krasnoyarsk Territory Investigative Committee confirmed these details to socialbites.ca. The ministry reported that on May 31, guards riding in a car stopped a motorcyclist on a Krasnoyarsk street, then assaulted the motorcyclist and his companions while displaying their service weapons. A video of the incident appeared on the Telegram channel PE Krasnoyarsk and has since circulated widely.
According to those involved, the motorcyclist complied with a red light violation at the Robespierre Street intersection but crossed after the light had changed. At the intersection of Lenin and Robespierre streets, personnel from the private security company placed the individuals in a vehicle, ordered them to halt, and without presenting any official ID, drew weapons and began shooting. Witnesses describe multiple blows and kicks directed at all three men, targeting the head and other parts of the body. The section notes these firsthand accounts as the basis for the claims being investigated.
Local Krasnoyarsk outlets reported that one of the men assaulted by the security personnel sustained a broken jaw, while another suffered a fractured tooth, accompanied by various other injuries. It is alleged that the guards decided to teach the motorcyclist a lesson after observing what they believed to be a traffic violation. In response, the Krasnoyarsk Ministry of Internal Affairs informed socialbites.ca that a criminal case was filed against the motorcyclist for drunk driving.
The suspects face up to two years in prison while forensic investigations continue to unfold. Ongoing coverage will monitor developments as authorities gather evidence and assess the events that led to the confrontation.
