Investigators have opened criminal cases against more than a dozen Caucasian students after
they fought police to protect their friends, who are suspected of attempted murder during a mass
brawl outside the Yevropeisky shopping mall. Police tracked down the two suspects to a dormitory
in the Moscow region town of Peredelkino on Friday, but when they tried to take them in for
questioning the suspects' friends put up stiff resistance. A fight then ensued outside the building,
and the 18 students now face charges of assaulting police, the Investigative Committee said in a
statement on its website.
That charge carries a maximum sentence of five years' jail time. Police eventually succeeded in
detaining one suspect, Dikhkam Rizvanov, and an international search warrant has been issued for
the other, 21-year-old Chechnya native Magomed Eldiev.
Investigators had earlier charged Eldiev with attempting to murder Spartak fan Usachev, who was
stabbed multiple times after a fight broke out Tuesday between football fans and North Caucasus
migrants on Dorogomilovskaya Ulitsa in the city center.
