The source also claims that after a day in the detention center, the former national team player agreed to cooperate with the investigation and told all the details. Bugaev explained that after finishing his professional football career, he had financial problems in his family. The athlete began abusing alcohol and accumulated debts of approximately $70,000 in unpaid taxes. Desperate, Bugaev decides to make money selling drugs. He was able to obtain about 500 grams of mephedrone, which he planned to distribute in Krasnodar and Sochi.
The source also claims that the former RPL defender has already provided information on his drug suppliers. Photos of the places where he left his supplies, with exact coordinates, were also found on his phone.
Recall that earlier today information appeared about the detention of 42-year-old former football player Alexei Bugaev in Krasnodar, where about 495 grams of mephedrone was found on him. Police established that Bugaev obtained the drugs he had from a hidden stash found on the street. A criminal case was opened against Alexey for selling on a particularly large scale.
