The Krasnogvardeysky District Court of Saint Petersburg has reviewed the case of foreign national Michael Ogundai, who is accused of using violence against a law enforcement officer. According to the court's decision, the defendant will remain under house arrest until November 2, 2026.
According to investigation details, the incident occurred on September 1 on Murinskaya Road. The individual, who was in a state of intoxication, acted aggressively toward a Russian National Guard officer attempting to stop an administrative offense, striking the officer twice on the shoulder and leg. As a result, the law enforcement officer sustained bodily injuries of varying severity.
During the court proceedings, a series of restrictions were imposed on the defendant. He is prohibited from leaving the place of house arrest without written permission from the investigator, as well as from communicating with witnesses and the victim involved in the case. These restrictions do not apply to communication with his lawyer.
It should be noted that under Russian law, the use of force against a government official carries criminal liability. Investigative actions regarding this case are ongoing.
