As an investigation into a viral beating in Cincinnati shook the nation and described it as a “racial issue”, a victim and several suspects are facing criminal allegations.
In the morning of 26 July, the fourth in the city’s downtown business district and a conflict outside the Love Night Clb located on the corner of Elm Street led a terrible beetdown, which was captured the video.
The video broadcast rapidly on social media, causing anger as at least two white victims were pummailed in the ground by a group of black suspects. Once on the ground, the suspects did not return. Instead, they stayed at the victims, one of which was abandoned with a life-trans-brain issue.

Cincinnati beetdown is accused on allegations of suspected federal drug conspiracy
The decline from the attack has thrown the city’s leadership into the turmoil, as the Mayor Aftab Purewal was missing for several days after the incident, causing the local Frattern Order Police (FOP) unanimously voting no-confidence for them.
Meanwhile, the suspects have been scored in local and state lines. All have been charged at the state level, and some serious federal allegations.
Here is the situation of every suspect:
German Matthews, 39: Federal custody
Mathews, who is described by prosecutors as the “coordinator” of the dispute, is in federal custody after being arrested on Monday on unrelated allegations from Beatdown.
They have been accused of distributing and conspiring to distribute and keep a complex with the intention of distributing 40 grams or more phentineyls federally and drug trafficking.
On Thursday, he appeared before a federal judge for a bond hearing, and his lawyer Kara Blackni successfully argued that since he did not have any former violent hooliganism and a lot of relations with the Cincinnati community, including three children and a business, should be released from custody while prosecuting allegations.
However, the federal prosecutors immediately appealed for the decision, and until Friday, Mathews remained in custody, where he will remain until the appeal hearing.
The allegations of those drugs were raised after posting a $ 270,000 bond and released from local custody on the allegations arising from the fight: three hooliganism attacks, three cases of attack and two cases of increased riots.

An eighth man, 45 -year -old Alex Tchherinski, who is a victim of controversy, has been accused of disorganized conduct related to the attack.
Tchervinski can be seen slapping one of the suspects in the viral video, which his lawyer’s claims were already a hit.
His lawyer, Douglas Brann, said his client was allegedly killed 28 times and was robbed during the attack, while trying to protect his girlfriend and another friend during a scuffle.
The owners of the Cincinnati business beat the viral between the fight to clean the city amid the ‘slam’ beating the viral
Brann told Fox News Digital, “What has it done, it has now made Alex a victim by making criminal allegations against him for the second time.” “What actually happened to Alex was killed several times before he slaps in trying to try and rescue himself and return this group of thugs.”

The arrest of Tchervinski has become a point of dispute between the police and the mayor’s office.
When the FOP voted for no-confidence in Purewell earlier this week, he said that Aftab also ordered the city’s Solicitor to charge a white hunting of cruel beetdown with brutality, “To meet the racial tension only on the urge of some community leaders.”
One of those community leaders, Reverend Demon Lynch demanded that the victims be arrested in a press conference in a press conference in a week after the attack.
Lynch said, “For those who want to race it, then a black man stepped among the fighters, separated them and said, ‘It is about fighting closed, everyone needs to chill,” Lynch said, who is black. “And then, for those who want to race it, the white man steps back into the ring and does not slap the black man he had just shocked, but slaps another black man. So he got up with inconsistent force after that.”
“But when I see the Magshot, I only see those who look like me,” he said. “I don’t see the person who is again connected. And so unless we all see Magshots, this is still a racial issue.”
Aftab agreed.
He said, “I agree with Pastor Lynch, that there is no doubt that it is a public safety challenge, that the incident would require further investigation, further allegations and arrest for every person,” he said.
