(11 Oct 2018) Two Russian football players appeared in court on Thursday accused of beating a government official at a Moscow cafe.
The court ruled Zenit St. Petersburg striker Aleksandr Kokorin and Krasnodar midfielder Pavel Mamaev will be detained in jail until December 8 while they await their fates.
Kokorin and Mamaev are accused of beating an official from the Russian Ministry for Industry and Trade on Wednesday after he rebuked them for behaving improperly.
Mamaev's lawyer has called the decision "groundless and unjust" and said they would be appealing.
