Gazmanov spoke about the possibility of the fraudster who deceived him fleeing to the United States.

On September 18, singer and composer Oleg Gazmanov, in an interview with Izvestia, shared his fears that the fraudster who deceived him could escape punishment.

"Some incredible story is happening: first of all, <...>..> when he was detained, after some time they tried to release him, and if there had not been a new case from another person whom he had deceived, he would have been released, but he was not released, he is sitting. <...> I have very serious concerns that if they could have released him, then <...> of course, he will immediately flee to America. He's not a Russian citizen, he runs the whole business there... Of course, I have very big concerns," Gazmanov said.

According to the singer, the man deceived him for six years, refusing to return the money, first under the pretext of the coronavirus pandemic, and then because of the beginning of a special military operation. In addition, Gazmanov noted that he has evidence that he was subjected to fraud and deception: documents and bank statements.

Roman Kuzmin, the artist's lawyer, added that due to the extreme complexity of the case, Gazmanov's side was forced to appeal to the chairmen of the Moscow City Court with a request to sort out what was happening.

"We would like to state that in connection with this appeal, of course, we treat the court with unconditional respect, and we intend to comply, of course, with the criminal law and the criminal professional law. Meanwhile, meanwhile, of course, we, the representatives of the Moscow City Court, ask you to find out what is happening in our case, but again, having, of course, respect for the court," the lawyer emphasized.
