KONDOPOGA. Sept 7 (Interfax) - A participant in the infamous brawl
at the Chaika Restaurant, which triggered riots in Kondopoga, has been
taken into custody.
A certain Mozgalyov started a brawl with the restaurant bartender,
which claimed two lives and injured six people, a source at the Karelian
prosecutor's office told Interfax on Thursday.
Charges will be brought soon, the source said.
Mozgalyov, 33, is a Kondopoga resident with a criminal record. He
was convicted in 1999 for killing a local crime lord in Petrozavodsk in
the fall of 1998.
All is quiet in Kondopoga, which held memorial services for the
dead earlier in the day. Two hundred patrolmen are providing law and
order. The police are also protecting childcare centers and schools.
