MOSCOW (Reuters) – A Moscow court on Friday remanded in custody for two months a Dutch citizen accused of assaulting a policeman in the Russian capital, the Moscow Courts Press Service said.
The service, in a post on the Telegram messaging app, said the Dutchman would remain in custody until Dec. 3.
Interfax news agency, quoting police sources, said he was detained on Sept. 3. It said he stood accused of striking a police officer who had approached him about knocking down a traffic sign outside the Italian embassy in Moscow.
