Additional information:

One of the defendants, whose trial was covered by the journalist of Nasha Gazeta Olga Likhogray, threatened the media outlet with a lawsuit. He said that the prosecutor had made a mistake in the article «Bro, make the fine at the minimum» — one of the episodes was attributed to him, not to the second defendant. The editorial board checked the information — on the video, the prosecutor speaks exactly as it is written in the article. The editorial office asked the prosecutor for clarification and the prosecutor admitted the mistake. After that, a clarification was added to the publication. That was the end of the conflict.
