ALEXEYEVKA (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 17th September, 2019) Russian football players Pavel Mamaev and Alexander Kokorin convicted over a fight left the prison on Tuesday after the court allowed their release on parole, a Sputnik correspondent reported.
The footballers and Kokorin's younger brother, Kirill, got inside a car of Kokorin's stepfather waiting for them outside the prison.
In early May, all three as well as their friend were convicted over two scuffles in the center of Moscow.
The trial was widely covered in the media and much discussed in Russia.
Kokorin was initially sentenced to 18 months in jail, while Mamaev received a 17 month sentence. Earlier in September, a district court in Russia's Belgorod region granted both football players an early release, as they had requested.
Kokorin has signed a new contract with FC Zenit Saint Petersburg, where he played as a forward, according to lawyer Yury Padalko. Meanwhile, Mamaev has a contract with FC Krasnodar.
