Against the leader of the “Accident” group, Alexei Kortnev, a criminal case was opened for insulting a government official. It is reported by TASS.
Article (319 of the Criminal Code) threatens with corrective labor for up to one year.
“Yes this is true. I will meet with my lawyer, fly to Novosibirsk. All actions will take place within the framework of the law. I think, [уголовное дело заведено] absolutely undeserved, ”said Kortnev.
According to the agency, the investigation is conducted by the Investigative Committee’s department for the investigation of particularly important cases.
The criminal case is connected with an incident that occurred in February, after the cancellation of the performance of “Accident” in Novosibirsk, the local NGS portal indicates. The concert was planned to be held at the Red Rabbit club, but before the start, police and firefighters arrived at the venue and reported smoke in the building. The concert has been cancelled.
“And despite the fact that the fire engines drove off to the side, no one“ let them go ”, since they were necessary for the cover operation – they walked in the dark between the tables“ and looked for ”the place of the smoking wiring. Otherwise, there would be no obstacles to continue the event, ”quoted the local edition of Academ.Info, the director of the bar, Sergei Tsurkan.
According to eyewitnesses, during a conversation with the police, Kortnev showed one of them an “indecent gesture,” NGS writes. The leader of the group was detained, but was soon released. The musician himself said that they did not draw up a protocol, and therefore “nothing terrible happened.”
“Later Alexei and Dmitry [Чувелев] were called to the police station to clarify the circumstances of the incident and related events. Now everyone is in their beds, ”the group said on VKontakte. The message did not mention “indecent gestures” towards the police.
Of the three performances of Kortnev scheduled for February in Novosibirsk, only one was able to be held. Two other concerts were canceled by the owners of the premises without explanation, the organizers said.
