The defense of rapper Goof appealed the verdict.

The defense filed a complaint against the verdict of the rapper Gufu (real name — Alexey Dolmatov) in the case of arbitrariness. This was reported to Izvestia in court on March 11.

On February 26, the Naro-Fominsk City Court of the Moscow region found Gufu guilty and imposed a one-year suspended sentence. Sarukhanyan, the second person involved in the case, was also given one year of probation. Prior to that, the prosecutor had requested two years of probation for them.

At the same time, the victim filed a motion to terminate the criminal case, as the defendants fully repaid the damage and reconciliation took place between the parties. In response, the court refused to dismiss the case. Guf himself apologized to the victim and repented, while he and Sarukhanyan did not admit their guilt.

The incident involving Dolmatov occurred on October 23, 2024 in the Moscow region, in the premises of a sauna and wellness complex in the Naro-Fominsk city district. It was noted that the musician and Sarukhanyan came into conflict with the man, also stealing his phone. Sarukhanyan twisted the victim, and the rapper threatened him and punched the man in the face several times.

A criminal case was opened into the incident under paragraphs "a" and "d" of Part 2 of Article 161 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Robbery"). Besides Guf, Sarukhanyan was also involved, and then the court ordered the musician to ban certain actions.
