The Moscow City Court recognized as lawful the arrest in absentia of the former player “What? Where? When?" Askerova

The decision was recognized as legal, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the press service of the court.

“The decision of the Basmanny Court of Moscow was left unchanged, the appeal was not satisfied,” the source said.

Askerov was arrested in absentia on 24 May.

In mid-May, the Russian Interior Ministry put Askerov on the wanted list.

Earlier it was reported that the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against Askerov about the rehabilitation of Nazism.

As the investigation established, in one of the social networks Askerov published "deliberately false information insulting and discrediting the memory of the great Russian commander and defender of the Fatherland Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov."
