It is noted that on January 24, the first meeting of his case was held, during which Salmond was officially charged.

The prosecutor's office presented a list of 14 items. It includes nine points on sexual abuse, two on attempted rape, two on assault and one on public disorder.

Salmond said he was innocent.

“I completely reject these accusations of crimes, and I will defend myself in court ... I am not guilty of any crimes,” RIA Novosti quotes Salmond.

Earlier in the UK, Salmond was arrested, who personally went to the police to testify in a harassment case.

It was noted that earlier he had already won a civil court on these charges, since the investigation against him was led by a person who was recognized as biased.
