Hockey player Voinov not released from US prison

Hockey player "Los Angeles Kings" and the Russian team Vyacheslav Voinov was not released from prison, and he continues to serve time in a correctional facility. About this agency “R-Sport” said Craig Steele, the prosecutor of the California city of Seal Beach.

An employee of the prosecutor’s office denied the information published by the August 21 edition of TFP, that Voinov allegedly prematurely released. To this day, the hockey player has served half of the 90-day period and, according to the terms of the deal with the investigation, could qualify for parole.

The Russian must also pay a fine of 700 dollars and must attend special courses on the dangers of domestic violence during the year.

As part of the deal with the investigation Voinov pleaded petty offender.

Last December, the district attorney of the city of Redondo Beach in the state of California advanced against the Russians charges of causing grievous bodily harm to his wife Martha Varlamova. The woman had injuries to her cheek, neck and eyebrows, but she herself stated that she had received them by chance.

Voinov was arrested on the night of October 20 in the hospital of Redondo Beach, where he brought his spouse. Soon he was released on bail in 50 thousand dollars.

25-year-old hockey player spent four seasons in the NHL for Los Angeles. The Russian is a two-time winner of the Stanley Cup (in 2012 and 2014 year).
