The law enforcement agencies of Samara have placed a Tajik teenager and his family in a temporary detention center for foreign citizens. This action was taken due to the teenager’s involvement in a mass brawl at the “El Rio” shopping center. This was reported by the main department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Samara region.

On February 6, videos of a mass brawl at the Samara shopping center “El Rio” appeared on social media. A group of young people were fighting and throwing chairs, with kicks visible in the footage.

Although none of the participants in the brawl contacted law enforcement or medical institutions, and the administration of the shopping center did not report the incident to the competent authorities, the police initiated a case under Article 213 (Hooliganism) and sent the case to court.

It has been reported that the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, instructed to conduct an investigation due to the information about the brawl in the shopping center “El Rio” that appeared on the internet and in the press.

During the investigation, police discovered that the minor participant in the brawl, as well as his mother and minor brother and sister, had violated their stay in Russia. The Industrial District Court of Samara decided on their forced expulsion from the country. Currently, the family is in a temporary detention center for foreign citizens until the court’s decision is executed.

It is still unknown what caused the brawl. Nothing is known about the other participants in the mass brawl.

The opinions of the Tajik teenager and his relatives are currently unavailable.
