Residents of the Vyborgsky district in St. Petersburg reported that a family from Africa allegedly attacked neighbors and damaged property, a claim cited by 78.ru.
Local residents said that tensions involving immigrants had been rising for several years. They described a pattern where two young people reportedly disturbed the peace for themselves and their children, and they claimed the head of the family, a father figure, sometimes reacted with force when others expressed dissatisfaction with the situation.
There was an incident described where a neighbor’s car was allegedly damaged by a visiting family, yet the parents did not admit fault. In another moment, the family’s male head was said to have pursued a local resident with an object that resembled a weapon.
According to the source, residents repeatedly contacted authorities, filing statements with both the prosecutor’s office and the Investigative Committee. They noted that, as of yet, there had been no publicly announced results from these investigations.
Earlier reports indicated that a candidate for a municipal deputy seat in the Moscow region faced concerns tied to a past incident involving a companion who reportedly had problems with alcohol, and the matter had drawn media attention.
