Government official they beat up lol idiots en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_KokorinOn 7 October 2018, Kokorin and Krasnodar midfielder Pavel Mamaev were involved in a nasty altercation with a Russian government official that saw Kokorin appear to strike the official with a chair. Kokorin and Mamaev were caught on camera accosting the official in a cafe in Moscow, according to Gazeta. It quotes a Russian lawyer saying that a conviction such as this would carry a maximum sentence of five years.[13] Hours before that accident, Mamaev, Kokorin and other young people were involved in an altercation with the driver of a Channel One show presenter; he received brain damage, nose fracture and face contusions after numerous punches.[14] Kokorin was apprehended for two months.[15] Kokorin remained in prison until his trial which began on 9 April 2019.[16] On 8 May 2019, he was sentenced to 18 months in penal colony.[1] Considering the time he spent in pre-trial detention, the latest possible date for his release from custody is 14 December 2019. |
