“I’m not going to disclose my position so far, it’s premature. This will be done in court. Efremov does not admit his guilt. I have said it several times, and for you I’m saying, on the day of the accident he doesn’t remember what happened, how it all happened. In the 20 days that I worked, I gathered enough evidence to prove otherwise, so I decided to convince him to refuse to plead guilty, ”the lawyer said.
According to him, if it will be clear in court that the evidence provided is unacceptable, the defense will plead guilty and apologize.
“This is his legal right, Efremova. He has the right to repeatedly admit as well as refuse ... His recognition or non-recognition does not contradict the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Criminal Code, ”he added.
In addition, Pashayev said that on his initiative Efremov’s appeal was made after an accident.
July 6, the Ministry of Internal Affairs announced the completion of the investigation of the case of Efremov. The actor was charged with the final version.
The accident occurred on the evening of June 8, when Efremov drove by car into the oncoming lane in Moscow and crashed into a van.
As a result of the accident, the driver of the van died in the hospital. An examination established that Efremov was drunk.
