On the evening of April 6, an incident occurred in Yekaterinburg with boxer Alexander Emelianenko, as a result of which the flight from Yekaterinburg to Moscow was delayed.
E1.RU cites the data of blogger Anna Danilova, who flew this plane, she reports that the athlete made a small scandal.
“There is a transition when you go from the waiting room to the bus. I walk up the stairs and hear the guard ask, “Dude, what were you doing there?” I just saw you relieve yourself here.” While waiting for the police, everyone stood in the bus with the doors open and listened to this confrontation. The guard said to him, “You wrote there, it’s impossible. you’re going to pay a fine”, and he replies “Go to….., I’m going to (beat) you now.
When the police arrived at the scene of the incident, Emelianenko was not removed from the flight, they did not fine him. Instead, the police arranged a photo op with him. According to Anna, the passenger was shocked by such behavior of the security forces. “We were supposed to take off at 7:00 p.m., but we were held up. We stayed on the bus for 20 minutes, freezing,” she said. – If he was an ordinary person, I think he would have been detained. And when it’s popular, anything is possible.
According to the blogger, the boxer was “walking hard”, he smelled of smoke. On the plane, he asked for alcohol, but the staff refused him. During the flight, the athlete behaved decently.
Despite the testimony of eyewitnesses to the incident, the transport police told the E1.Ru portal that no violations were found on the part of the boxer. Moreover, the press service of the transport police said that it was not Emelianenko, but ordinary citizens who were to blame for the incident.
According to the police, quoted by the portal, at 6:20 p.m., aviation security officers contacted the transport policemen of Koltsovo in order to establish the reasons for the crowd near the bus. On the spot, the police found that the reason for the activity of the people was the desire to take pictures with one of the passengers of the flight.
“No facts of breach of public order have been revealed. Nor have there been any statements or messages from citizens or representatives of transport companies to the service unit of the police department The information about the incorrect actions of employees of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs at Koltsovo airport is not true, ”the press service said.
