On May 5, hearings took place at the Presnensky District Court in Moscow to determine restraining orders for individuals accused of assaulting Moscow CSKA basketball star Alexei Shved. The report comes from Arguments and Facts.
Earlier, on May 1, Shved, accompanied by his wife and friends, was dining at a central Moscow restaurant. After leaving the establishment, a dispute erupted between him and members of his group. Shved was assaulted by several people in the street that evening.
Three suspects, Ramzin Amirslanov, Gleb Pisarev, and Prince Amirslanov, were detained by court order. All pleaded not guilty to the charges. The trio faced pretrial restrictions as the case progressed.
The 20-year-old Prince Amirslanov celebrated his birthday on the day of the incident, and the restaurant gathering followed that event. Reports indicate Prince is a student at MGIMO, with his family reportedly supporting his education financially, though the details remain anonymous in available accounts.
Ramzin Amirslanov, aged 17, is identified as one of the attackers, with his driver Yusuf named as a central figure in the inquiry. Both Ramzin and Yusuf describe Ramzin as the principal offender in the altercation. A fourth suspect, described as the principal accused by investigators, was arrested later on the evening of May 5 and is cooperating with authorities as the investigation continues.
The investigation has confirmed that Shved required hospital care following the assault. Medical personnel reported that he was unconscious for a period after the beating and is currently receiving hospital treatment. The incident has prompted security concerns around public venues in the city as investigations unfold.
Meanwhile, the CSKA basketball club encountered a setback in the domestic league. On May 5, with Shved unavailable, CSKA lost to Zenit in their series opener for third place, ending the game at 68 to 86 on home court. The next game was scheduled for Sunday, May 7, in Moscow. The club community awaits further updates on Shved’s condition and the ongoing legal proceedings. [citation needed]
