Gazmanov's former producer Philip Rossa pleaded guilty in a criminal case

Oleg Gazmanov's former producer Philip Rossa, accused of fraud, as well as violation of copyright and related rights, pleaded guilty. A source told Izvestia about this on August 5.

The Basmanny Court of Moscow yesterday extended Ross's detention until September. At the same time, Gazmanov, according to his representative, sent a petition asking to release the accused from jail and appoint a milder measure of restraint for him. At the same time, Ross reimbursed the artist for 12 million rubles. It was specified that the total amount is 17.5 million rubles.

According to media reports, Rossa sold Gazmanov's photographs and musical works to third parties, including the rights to songs used in films without his knowledge, thereby causing moral harm and material damage to the artist.
