“I apologize to the victims, I repent of my deed. I am ashamed in front of the fans and the club. I apologize for my unworthy deed. My behavior was unacceptable, I will do everything to earn forgiveness. I ask you not to deprive me of my freedom and give me the opportunity to make amends, ”Kokorin said.
Lawyer Oleg Popov suggested that the court let Kokorin be released on bail.
Earlier in the Tverskoy Court of Moscow, petitions were made to elect a preventive measure in the form of detention in respect of the Krasnodar midfielder Pavel Mamayev and Zenit striker Alexander Kokorin, as well as the latter’s younger brother. All three are suspected of hooliganism.
