Hockey player Voinov out of American prison ahead of schedule

Russian hockey player Vyacheslav Voinov, who was serving a sentence in a US prison for domestic violence, was released early.

In total, the Los Angeles Kings defender spent 45 days of the 90 days ordered by the court in custody.

According to US media reports, Voynov’s punishment was serving in a special prison, where a prisoner costs a hundred dollars a day.

Voynov was arrested On the night of October 20, 2014, by the California Redonddo Beach police, on suspicion of domestic violence against his wife, Martha Varlamova.

Immediately after the incident, Voinov’s lawyer argued that the hockey player was “absolutely” innocent, and that the injured woman simply hit her head in the kitchen and cut her eyebrow.

However, the court sentenced the hockey player to 90 prison days, and also ordered him to pay a fine of 700 dollars and undergo a one-year course of consultations on the inadmissibility of domestic violence.

Voynov still remains a member of the Los Angeles Kings team, despite the disqualification, which, according to representatives of the National Hockey League, will not be lifted until the end of the official review of the hockey player’s case by the relevant league authorities.

Recall that in late July, the Florida State Police revealed corruption schemecreated by Russian emigrants. Among the frauds with benefits for the poor, among others, the famous hockey player Sergei Berezin was implicated. He was arrested, and dozens of people are under investigation.

Sergey Berezin and his family received free medical services. At the same time he owned a house for a million dollars, made a profit of one hundred thousand dollars from training and renting real estate. The amount of Sergei's frauds with allowance and insurance for low-income Medicaid has cost the state 67 thousand dollars over three years.
