“Margarita Zakharova, the widow of the deceased Sergei Zakharov, and their son Vitaliy were also recognized as victims in the accident case involving Mikhail Efremov. Today we passed the warrant to the investigator conducting the case. I’ll clarify right away that there will be no rumors: Valery (brother of the deceased), Margarita, and Vitaly Zakharov are my trustees, ”TASS quoted the lawyer as saying.
On the evening of June 8, a car driven by Efremov drove into the oncoming lane on Smolenskaya Square in the center of Moscow and crashed into a van, which Zakharov was driving. As a result of the incident, the driver of the van Sergey Zakharov died in the hospital. An examination established that Efremov was drunk.
