Emotional comment about law enforcers results in fine imposed on Vladikavkaz resident

Vladimir Akoev, a resident of Vladikavkaz, has posted a comment in the “VKontakte” social network; and the court fined him by 10,000 roubles.

The reason was in his comment in which Akoev reproached law enforcers for their desire to curry favour; he doubted their ability to value other people’s lives and negatively characterized the entire law enforcement system.

The sanctions in the imputed article provide for a fine of 10,000 to 20,000 roubles or up to 15 days of arrest. The court sentenced him to the minimum punishment.
