Title: Local Teen Caught Vandalizing Road with Extremist Graffiti
Juvenile apprehended for penning radical verses onto the asphalt in Sochi
In the city of Sochi, authorities have caught a 17-year-old resident red-handed, scrawling extremist content on the road using spray paint. This revelation was made after a social media post surfaced online, featuring video footage of a youth wielding a spray can on a busy street.
The alarming incident occurred during the early hours of April 29, on First of May Street. According to the police, the teenager's actions were driven by hooligan motives.
The culprit was swiftly identified through collaboration between officers from the Juvenile Affairs department of the Sochi City Police Department and the Counter-Extremism Center of the MVD for the Krasnodar Territory.
An administrative case has been launched against the junior delinquent under Part 1 of Article 20.3 of the RF Code of Administrative Offenses for propagating or publicly displaying Nazi symbols or symbols of extremist organizations. The case files have been forwarded for further proceedings.
It's worth noting that earlier this year, another Sochi resident faced consequences for uploading Nazi symbols on social media. This individual posted prohibited images on their social media account.
When it comes to underage Russians engaging in such activities, it's essential to understand the broader implications. While spray-painting prohibited symbols is not explicitly mentioned in the given search results, the RF Code of Administrative Offenses generally addresses the violation of public event procedures, such as unauthorized gatherings or protests.
Underage offenders might face different penalties depending on the nature of the offense and related administrative regulations. In some cases, parents or guardians may also be held accountable or fined. For clarity, consulting the RF Code of Administrative Offenses directly or seeking legal advice is recommended. The penalties for minors can include fines or other measures as decided by local authorities, although they may be less severe compared to those for adults.
