Protection of commercial director Sobchak Kirill Sukhanov appeals against his arrest

This was stated to RIA Novosti by his lawyer Svetlana Lipatova.

“We thought about it and most likely will appeal,” she said.

Earlier, the Tverskoy Court of Moscow arrested Sukhanov until December 24 in the case of extortion of 11 million rubles from the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov.

Sukhanov has already declared his readiness to partially admit his guilt and apologize to Chemezov.

On October 26, a source told RT that Sobchak had left Russia prior to the searches of her Moscow suburban home and the arrest of her commercial director, Kirill Sukhanov, in an extortion case.

According to the interlocutor, Sobchak herself also became a defendant in this case and could have been detained if she had not left Russia.

The ex-editor-in-chief of Tatler, Arian Romanovsky, was also detained in the case of extortion.
