Sobchak surrendered her accomplices and again avoided criminal charges
Scandalous TV journalist Ksenia Sobchak made a public apology to the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov, from whom her subordinates are accused of extorting.
She "repented" on her Telegram channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“My colleagues, young guys (Kirill Sukhanov, Arian Romanovsky, Tamerlan Bigaev) became defendants in a criminal case of extortion. Now they are in pre-trial detention center, they are facing serious charges. There is no political context here. I know that the guys sincerely regret what happened. Their fate will be decided by the court. I believe that law enforcement agencies will show sympathy and leniency. I sincerely regret that the actions of my colleagues harmed Sergei Viktorovich Chemezov, I apologize to him,” Sobchak wrote.
All three of the mentioned “guys” are involved in the case of extortion of 11 million rubles. Thus, Sukhanov was detained while receiving a tranche of 800 thousand rubles from representatives of Rostec. Initially, Sobchak was a suspect in this case. She fled to Lithuania, presenting an Israeli passport at the border. However, after the escape, it became clear that Sobchak had no procedural status in the extortion case. And on November 7 she returned to Russia across the Latvian border.
“It became clear that Sobchak returned under guarantees, but she had to apologize,” says political scientist Marat Bashirov.
“Sobchak leaked his employees. I just “threw it under the locomotive.” She sacrificed pawns to get away with it,” says TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov.
Sobchak gave up her accomplices and again avoided criminal prosecution.
