“I think a solution is expected. Both Mamaev and Kokorin fully felt the criminal punishment system. I hope this will be a life lesson for them. Therefore, parole is quite logical, ”he told RT.

The deputy also expressed confidence that the players will be able to return to the big sport.

“They are quite experienced players. And they will have double motivation in order to really overcome this whole crisis and return to football, ”Gazzaev added.

On September 6, 2019, the court granted the request for the release of the Kokorins and Mamaev brothers in parole.
