Gang behind violent videos sentenced in St. Petersburg court

A court sent sixteen teenagers to prison after they hurt people and made hate videos. The Moscow District Court of St. Petersburg decided their punishment. Each member received between three and a half years to four years and eight months behind bars. The young criminals were between fourteen and eighteen years old. They committed crimes of hooliganism and spreading hate against different groups.

The gang started causing trouble around 2023 when they began attacking random people on the streets. They would fight with anyone walking past them and record everything on video. The teenagers posted these violent clips on a Telegram channel for others to watch. They also encouraged viewers to hurt Russians and Uzbeks during their online posts. Their behavior terrorized innocent people who were just trying to go about their daily lives.

Tural Mamedov led this dangerous group of young criminals at eighteen years old. The migrant organized all their violent activities and hate campaigns. He tried to escape justice when he ran away to Azerbaijan where he was born. Police tracked him down and brought him back to St. Petersburg to face charges. The court held all sixteen members responsible for their cruel actions against the public.
