Double Olympic champion Vyacheslav Fetisov commented on the striker’s decision S.K.A. Mikhail Vorobiev plead guilty in court in the bribery case.
In July three Russian hockey players were caught trying to pay a bribe to be exempted from conscription into the army, criminal case documents were filed in court of the Leninsky district of Ufa. The court received elements of criminal cases under part 4 of article 291 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (bribe) against Vorobyov, Anvar Suleimanov and the attacker Admiral Vladislav Lukin. Part 4 of article 291 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for 7-12 years in prison.
Are you surprised he pleaded guilty? The man broke the law. I’m more surprised that the system doesn’t work. The guys must somehow – according to the law – serve or enter a university where there is a military department. I don’t see any problem. The system crashed again.
There can be no excuses. In many European countries, athletes understand that they have an obligation not to break the law. I think our sports leaders did not foresee these problems, “Championship” quotes Fetisov.
Vorobyov, 25, has been playing for SKA since 2021. Last season he made 57 appearances for the St. Petersburg club and scored 27 points (7+20) with an efficiency indicator of +19.
Earlier in Saint Petersburg, former CSKA goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov was arrested on suspicion of escaping military service and the hockey player was taken to Severodvinsk. As it became known to , the 25-year-old goalkeeper will remain in City in the training unit until the oath is taken. He is expected to be sworn in on August 13.
