Fiorentina footballer Alexander Kokorin lost the court and is obliged to pay compensation satisfaction of the appeal on the civil claim of the driver Vitaly Solovchuk, who requires the player to pay compensation. This was reported by the press service of the Moscow courts of general jurisdiction.

Both players were convicted and sent to the colony. In September 2019, they were released on parole and resumed their professional careers.
