Makhachkala press service “Dynamo” and Moscow “Spartak” has commented on the decision of the Control and Disciplinary Committee of the Russian Football Union (KDK RFU) in the case of video recordings with chants of “active red and white fans”, recognized as editing.
The match of the third round of the group stage of the Russian Cup RPL FONBET on August 27 ended in a home defeat of Spartak with a score of 0:1. Earlier, the head of the RFU CDC Artur Grigoryants said that following the meeting, on the basis of video recordings published on the Internet, the committee opened a case. “Spartak” provided an independent examination on 26 sheets with the conclusion that the video recording showed signs of editing, expressed by the superposition of an audio stream (the chant “Russia for Russians, Moscow for Muscovites”) on the video stream (the filming of an episode of the game behind the gate). Due to the absence of a disciplinary violation, the case against Spartak was terminated.
— Did Dynamo submit its own video recording for FTC review?

—That’s true, but he didn’t specify what kind of video he was talking about. Check with the CDC official who sent them which video for review. He’ll clarify.
