Russia: Lebedev Guilty Over Chat Show Brawl

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 02 Juli 2013 | 20.18

Media magnate Alexander Lebedev has been found guilty of battery over a brawl on a TV chat show in his native Russia.

The financial backer of Britain's Independent and Evening Standard newspapers had claimed the case against him was politically motivated.

Last week the opposition surprisingly dropped the main charge against him, of "hooliganism", which carried the threat of several years in prison.

Instead they asked for his movements to be restricted for 21 months and for him to be banned from large public gatherings.

Russian state news agency RIA Novosti said he had been sentenced to 150 hours of community service.

Lebedev, a former London-based KGB agent, punched Sergei Polonsky on a Russian political chat show in September 2011, knocking him to the floor.

He claimed he was protecting himself and that the subsequent charge of hooliganism was disproportionate.

Last week Mr Polonsky called for Lebedev to be forgiven.
