The prosecutor's office opposed the termination of the case against football player Smolov

The state prosecution asks the court to refuse the petition of the victim Vladimir Kuzminov to terminate the criminal case in connection with the reconciliation of the parties against football player Fyodor Smolov for a fight in a cafe. This was announced on April 3 by a correspondent of Izvestia from the courtroom.

"It should be noted that Smolov is a public figure, a former player of the Russian national team. By his actions, he discredits the image of the athlete," the prosecutor said.

Earlier, the football player's lawyer Varvara Knutova reported that Smolov had entered into a settlement agreement with the victim. She also stated that the athlete had paid the victim 4 million rubles.
