What Happened
The reason for the detention was the publication of videos showing two minors. According to the source, the teenagers made an insulting gesture toward police officers, and one of them kicked a police vehicle.
Questioning and Release
Those detained are aged 13 and 15. After questioning them, police released both under restrictive conditions, but the nature of those conditions is not specified in the material provided.
The Legal Aspect
The source does not specify the statutory provisions under which the teenagers were detained or questioned, and does not report that an indictment was filed. Nor is any judicial decision mentioned, so it cannot be concluded from the material that the teenagers are guilty or what the next steps in the case will be.
What this means for you
Publishing a video does not preclude a police examination of the acts documented in it, even when the participants are minors. However, detention and questioning alone do not indicate that an indictment has been filed or that they have been found guilty; the source does not disclose the teenagers’ future procedural status.
