The press service of the courts of St. Petersburg announced the verdict to the four-time champion of Russia in sprint Alexander Hytte for beating two people. This was reported in the Telegram channel of the instance.
The athlete was sentenced to two years in a penal colony. The court also exacted 40,000 rubles from Hytte on account of the material damage of the victim, and 450,000 rubles on account of non-pecuniary damage. It is noted that the athlete partially admitted guilt.
