Lawyer Alexei Malenkov on the air of the program “There is a theme!” on , he called out the purchase of military tickets by hockey players in order not to join the army, noting that the investigation should look into this situation.
In April, it was learned that a former traffic policeman, Farit Samigullin, who made military tickets for certain athletes, was detained in Ufa. According to preliminary data, among its customers there may be several football players and hockey players from the structures of Ufa and Salavat Yulaev. In July, Russian national team goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov, who played for Salavat in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons, was arrested on suspicion of escaping military service.
– A group of people (acts) of connivance, a criminal community, one might say, each has its own role. The authorities in charge of the investigation should put an end to it, we have not seen the documents in the file. There is no secret stamp, you have to understand.
My personal opinion is that the player’s agent should be held responsible, because the player is at training camp, at matches. What does an agent do?
I think they (the hockey players) are still big kids because buying a military ID at that age is complete nonsense. Let’s see what the survey has to say about it,” Malenkov said.
