Two-year suspended sentence passed on Moscow wedding shooter from Azerbaijan
MOSCOW. Dec 18 (Interfax) - The Moscow Nikulinsky District Court has passed a two-year suspended sentence on 18-year-old Azeri native Seimur Nabizade.
He was found guilty of shooting at a wedding in western Moscow in November 2012 under Russian Criminal Code Article 213 (hooliganism), an Interfax correspondent reported from the site.
Nabizade was released in the courtroom.
He made a full confession and a plea agreement, which led to a special procedure in the hearing.
The young man fired a non-lethal pistol at a Moscow wedding on November 12. A hooliganism case was opened. The maximal possible punishment was five years in prison.
The Moscow shooting case has been investigated, a source at the city police department told Interfax earlier.
He said that the charges were brought against 18-year-old Azeri S. Nabizade, "who flagrantly disturbed the peace, neglected universal rules of social behavior and endangered the life and health of people with firing his non-lethal pistol no less than five times."
