MOSCOW, August 8 - RAPSI. The Tverskoy District Court found four people guilty in the second Manezh Square riots case, the court told the Russian Legal Information Agency (RAPSI/rapsinews.com) on Wednesday.

The events on Manezh Square incited a public uproar. Over 5,000 football fans and nationalists took part in the riots on Manezh Square in Moscow on December 11, 2010 after a procession to commemorate the memory of football fan Yegor Sviridov, who was shot dead after a fight on December 6. Eventually, 32 people were injured, according to the Moscow authorities.

Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said Nikolai Dvoynyakov threw pieces of metal fences at police officers, Vitaly Vasin aimed a traumatic pistol at them, Grigory Bilchenko threw metal sticks at them and hit one on his helmet, and Vladimir Kirpichnikov kicked an officer who attempted to make his way through the cordon.

Prosecutors requested a 2-3 year prison sentence for the defendants. Meanwhile, the defense said they should only be asked to pay fines.

This is the second criminal case concerning the riots on the square.

The court sentenced five individuals to imprisonment for 2 to 5.5 years in October 2011 in a similar case.
