The lawyer of the Russian football player Alexander Kokorin Umalat Saygitov commented on the absence of his client during the interrogation.

We note that the forward, who is still a Zenit player, should have come to the police to testify. However, Kokorin decided to ignore this procedure..

Saigitov, in an interview with Interfax, explained this by saying that they simply did not have time to arrive on time, because the investigator called in for questioning at 5:00 pm, which was scheduled for 6:00 pm. Later, the lawyer asked the investigator to postpone the interrogation of a football player.

"We asked to postpone the interrogation for tomorrow. The investigator called us at 5:00 pm for questioning, which is scheduled for 6:00 pm. This is not done, we just did not have time, "said Saygitov.

In addition, Saygitov called bluff rumors that, allegedly, Kokorin could be put on the federal wanted list in the absence.

"There is a special procedure for listing on the wanted list.

So soon it does not happen, therefore it is a bluff ".

Meanwhile, another participant in the incident, Pavel Mamaev, arrived at the police station to testify.. The Moscow police have already opened a criminal case about beatings (Article. 116 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

Recall Kokorin and Mamaev beat officials Denis Pak and Sergey Gaysin in a cafe in Moscow, as well as the driver of TV presenter "First Channel" Olga Ushakova.
