The defense of the defendants in the case of a fight in Shchelkovo appealed the verdict

The defense of several defendants in the case of a fight in Shchelkovo near Moscow, in which 20-year-old football player Arseny Eroshevich died, appealed the verdict, according to court materials available to RIA Novosti.

The Shchelkovsky court of the Moscow region in early September sentenced four defendants in the case to terms ranging from 8.5 to 11 years. Four foreign citizens, depending on their role, were charged with intentionally causing grievous bodily harm resulting in the death of the victim, hooliganism committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, and beatings. The fifth participant in the conflict, one of its instigators, escaped trial and went into hiding; he has been put on the international wanted list.

The court received several appeals from defense lawyers, as indicated in the materials. At the same time, Zikrullo Kadirov, sentenced to 11 years, did not appeal this decision.
