Bazhenov would like the ex-director of Chertanovo Larin to get off with a fine instead of a colony

Former Spartak forward Nikita Bazhenov admitted that he would like the former director of Chertanovo Nikolai Larin, who was sentenced to a colony, to get off with a fine.

Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow on Wednesday sentenced Larin to 3 years in prison for fraud. 20 million rubles will be recovered from him in favor of Moskomsport.

– I know that the football community spoke out that it was possible to mitigate the sentence. At least that’s what everyone expected. However, the court made such a decision. Larin acted for the benefit of Russian football? I understand. I hope the court took this into account.

There is evidence, unfortunately. You can also file a complaint and appeal to the Supreme Court. Do I believe that I can get out on parole? Don’t know. Here you need to understand the documents. I would like him to get off with a fine. There is a law – it must be followed, whether you like it or not, – Bazhenov told the “Championship”.

Earlier, the former president of Lokomotiv, Nikolai Naumov, said that if Larin committed violations of financial discipline, he should have been punished. “You see, when it comes to financial violations, about fraud there, about theft, then, of course, they give real terms for this, they are provided for by law, although I think that the court of appeal can commute the sentence, this is his first conviction, they can give him a suspended sentence, so I think he just needs to fight for his fate,” Naumov said.VseProSport“.

Larin, who headed the Chertanovo Academy from 2008 to 2021, according to investigators, overestimated the number of academy students in order to obtain additional funding.
