The state prosecution has been upheld in the criminal case regarding hooliganism.

Hooliganism is classified as a crime against public order and public morality. The social danger of hooliganism lies in the fact that despite the established norms of morality and commonly accepted rules of behavior in society, the interests of certain individuals prevail towards their violation, without considering the possible severe consequences of their actions.

The Prosecutor's Office of Braslav District supported the state prosecution in the Braslav District Court in the criminal case against D., accused of committing a crime under part 2 of Article 339 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus – intentional actions that grossly violate public order and express clear disrespect for society, accompanied by the use of violence, resulting in less serious bodily harm (malicious hooliganism).

During the court investigation, it was established that on one of the days in August 2024, a local resident of Braslav, while in a state of alcohol intoxication, returning home, entered the house of a woman he did not know before, and without reason, out of hooligan motives, intentionally and purposefully inflicted no less than 15 blows with his hands and feet to the homeowner, causing her less serious bodily injuries.

In the court session, the accused D. fully admitted his guilt in the charges brought against him, explaining that he was indeed in a state of alcohol intoxication and did not remember the events that took place.

In conjunction with the conclusions of expert examinations, protocols of investigative actions, physical evidence, and other written materials of the case examined during the court investigation, D.'s guilt in committing the crime under part 2 of Article 339 of the Criminal Code was proven in full. The evidence available in the materials of the criminal case allowed for the conclusion that the actions of the accused were intentional and purposeful.
Taking into account the position of the state prosecution, the court found D. guilty of committing intentional actions that grossly violate public order and express clear disrespect for society, accompanied by the use of violence, resulting in less serious bodily harm (malicious hooliganism) and, based on part 2 of Article 339 of the Criminal Code, imposed a sentence of restriction of freedom for a period of 1 year and 6 months without sending to an open-type correctional institution.

The verdict has entered into legal force, has not been appealed or contested in the appellate procedure.
