When all the evidence had already been discussed with him, with Mikhail, after everything, after which we renounced the confession of guilt, "Pashayev explained.

Pashayev also said that Efremov is already at home after being hospitalized with a stroke.

“He is already at home, I arrived at night. Today I'll find out how he's doing. They just phoned, I asked how things were going, he said: already at home. I didn’t want to discuss my condition over the phone, I think, let him leave a little bit after the hospital and rest. I'll stop by tonight, ”concluded Efremov's lawyer.

Earlier, RT had at its disposal a protocol of interrogation of actor Mikhail Efremov dated June 17, in which the artist admits his guilt in committing an accident in the center of Moscow.

In early August, Efremov stated that he could not admit his guilt in an accident, since he did not remember anything.
