Moscow. December 2nd. website - Law enforcement agencies did not decide to initiate a criminal case for extortion based on the application Russian singer Philip Kirkorov in relation to the leader of the Space group Didier Marouani, the musician’s lawyer Vadim Kazeev told Interfax on Thursday.
“The investigators returned Didier’s phones, he is flying to Paris tomorrow. The investigators told us that they are not obliged to notify about the initiation of a criminal case,” Kazeev said.
Earlier it was reported that Lawyer Igor Trunov and Didier Marouani were detained last Tuesday at a bank in Moscow, where, according to Trunov, they came to sign a settlement agreement with Philip Kirkorov, who allegedly agreed to pay a million euros to Marouani for the unlawful use of his music. As Trunov said, during the settlement agreement it was assumed that the money would be deposited by Kirkorov in the bank, after which it would be transferred to Maruani’s account.
However, as Kirkorov's lawyer Alexander Dobrovinsky told Interfax, there was no agreement. “Kirkorov wrote a statement to the police about extortion on the part of Maruani. We participated in an investigative experiment,” he said. Trunov and Maruani were taken to the Main Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow. Later, Trunov's lawyer Lyudmila Aivar told Interfax that "the police released him and Maruani, apologized to them, and at five in the morning they returned home." She said that law enforcement agencies did not initiate a criminal case based on Kirkorov’s statement of extortion.
On Wednesday, Trunov suggested that Marouani would file a lawsuit against Kirkorov in an American court for the unlawful use of his music. “Now we will definitely file a lawsuit in an American court. According to American laws, Kirkorov will have to pay at least $10 million for plagiarism,” the lawyer told Interfax. Maruani, in turn, said that he would write a statement of slander against Kirkorov. “The way Kirkorov behaved is a trap, it’s a crime. My lawyers will file a complaint with the prosecutor’s office for slandering me,” Marouani said at a press conference on Wednesday in Moscow. For his part, Kirkorov announced his readiness to withdraw the statement of extortion from Maruani if he apologizes. “I don’t want any imprisonments, an apology is enough for me, not even to me, but to my fans, to whom this song is so dear, to the audience, to whom the concert in Kurgan was disrupted, to those who created the song. He will apologize - I will forgive, I can withdraw the application,” Kirkorov said on the Rossiya-24 TV channel (VGTRK).
At the same time, he expressed doubts that Maruani or his lawyer Igor Trunov would agree to apologize.
Journalists report that the police have released the leader of the French group Space, Didier Marouani, who accused Philip Kirkorov of plagiarism. Law enforcement officials do not yet see any grounds for initiating a criminal case against a foreign musician. Marouani himself refused to testify in the case of illegal borrowing without a representative of the French consulate, since he did not trust the translators. Didier is due to testify again this Wednesday.
Lawyer Lyudmila Aivar told reporters that Maruani considers the incident a pre-planned provocation. Aivar said that the foreign musician was detained when he came to sign a settlement agreement with Philip Kirkorov.
However, the representative people's artist Russian Federation Alexander Dobrovinsky denied these data at a press conference. According to Themis’ servant, Maruani extorted an amount of one million euros from Kirkorov. Dobrovinsky said that organizing a meeting with Russian performer Pranksters Vovan and Lexus helped. They told reporters that at first they decided to play a prank on Marouani, but over time everything went too far. They then contacted Philip's lawyer.
According to the lawyer, he never saw the lawsuit that the leader of the Space group threatened. Therefore, Dobrovinsky came to the conclusion that he was dealing with intruders. Alexander Andreevich also shared with media representatives that he has the results of the examination of the song “ Cruel love"and the Marouani track. According to independent research, these compositions are different. In addition, Dobrovinsky emphasized that Kirkorov cannot be blamed in this situation, since the composer is all famous hit another person appears - Oleg Popkov.
“Philip wrote a statement against Maruani to law enforcement agencies, citing three articles - extortion on an especially large scale, slander and dissemination of information from privacy. Maruani arrived in Moscow and went last Tuesday to a meeting with Kirkorov to receive the coveted million. Didier did not have any papers or settlement agreement with him,” Dobrovinsky said at a press conference.
In turn, Didier Marouani’s representative Oleg Trunov told reporters that his ward plans to write a statement to initiate a criminal case against Philip Kirkorov. According to Trunov, the police officers apologized to him for what happened. The lawyer also noted that his dossier with a case of plagiarism, which was planned to be filed in court, was confiscated. “There are original examinations, calculations of the amount of damage, draft settlement agreements - all the documents that we have been collecting for so long,” Life.ru quotes a servant of Themis.
Exactly a week ago, the presenter of the program, Lera Kudryavtseva, managed to ask the king Russian stage only five questions. The singer showed the mobile home for the first time, talked about the search for a place for a mansion and his relationship with the surrogate mother of his children.
The second part of the program was not without questions about the relationship between Philip Kirkorov and Alla Pugacheva. The singer, who was quite tired of this topic, did not hide his annoyance at first: “What can I say, it’s been a fantastic ten years. We traveled a lot, experienced joyful and completely crazy days.” Now, according to the artist, they are family friends. “I have two children, she has two. She's a fantastic mom. On at this stage We have a lot in common, so we communicate as families,” Philip emphasized. The singer does not hide that while still married to the Prima Donna, he dreamed of children, because he believed that they could strengthen and save their union. “What if then, 20 years ago, surrogacy was available. Would you use it? - asked Lera Kudryavtseva. Philip answered this question simply: “We didn’t think about it then. Everything has its time".
Philip Kirkorov especially emphasized the fact that Maxim Galkin did not take his wife away from him: “Maxim became close to Alla when we already realized that our relationship had come to an end. At the same time, I met Nastya Stotskaya. If for Alla Maxim became a husband, then for me Nastya became creative project, in which I invested all of myself. It helped me not to go crazy." After these words, Anastasia Stotskaya herself entered the studio of the program, who supported the topic of the amazing similarity of her child with the son of Philip Kirkorov and talked about the artist’s courtship. “My whole family fell in love with him,” the singer noted.
The main intrigue of the program was, of course, an envelope with a question worth a million rubles. Before handing the envelope to Philip Kirkorov, Lera Kudryavtseva noted: “It took us six months to collect all the evidence. Day after day we carried out our own investigation. You have kept this secret for 13 years.” "Where does it come from?" - Philip asked with tension in his voice and added that his secret was worth much more than a million rubles and even his closest people did not know about it.
Finally, the singer decided to reveal the secret: “I became an unwilling participant in a situation that claimed a person’s life.” The presenter of the program said that she had in her hands a ruling from the Supreme Court of New Jersey dated July 16, 2010: “This is a criminal case of murder of a person. The accused is Philip Kirkorov." The singer interrupted the presenter and spoke about the incident that claimed the life of a man. "It happened on my big solo concert at the Taj Mahal. By the way, it was after this incident that such a large team went on tour with me. But then everything was different. 2004, I give a concert in a huge hall for 6-10 thousand people. Two people were assigned to me to keep order in the hall. There was a rather elderly guard on the front line. I pushed him away when I went down to the hall. The spotlights blinded me, I couldn’t see anything. The guard fell, and I didn’t even immediately understand what happened. Then his relatives sued me,” said Philip Kirkorov with a trembling voice. Lera Kudryavtseva clarified that the resolution said “he fell down the stairs, hit his head on the concrete floor and lost consciousness.” Some time after this, the man died of a stroke. The investigation into this criminal case lasted for six years. The fate of Philip Kirkorov in 2010 was decided by the jury, who voted 51 “for” in a ratio with 49 “against” the singer’s innocence.
A criminal case has been opened against singer Philip Kirkorov, who beat Channel One director Marina Yablokova. On December 16, he was summoned to court, where the first hearings were scheduled, as an accused.

“The Magistrate’s Court of Precinct 417 accepted Yablokova’s application demanding that she be brought to criminal liability as a private prosecution, for which Yablokova was recognized as a private prosecutor, and Kirkorov as a defendant,” RIA Novosti quotes the head of the press service of the Moscow City Court, Anna Usacheva, as saying.
Yablokova applied to the court to initiate a criminal case against Kirkorov for causing minor harm to health and insult. Trick famous singer, which served as the reason for the lawsuit, occurred at a rehearsal of the Golden Gramophone in the Kremlin on December 4. Philip Kirkorov was indignant that the light was shining directly into his eyes, as a result he had a verbal altercation with director Marina Yablokova, which ended in assault. True, the details of the fight have still not been established, since the parties different versions what happened. Soon after the incident, the singer made a public apology to the girl. A little later, his lawyer Alexander Dobrovinsky announced that a settlement agreement would soon be signed between his client and Yablokova. However, the girl in last moment refused such a resolution of the conflict.
“Offering to Marina to end the matter peacefully, Kirkorov apologized to her, admitted his guilt, and assured that he was ready for some kind of compensation (which Marina refused). Under the influence of these changes, as well as under the serious influence of those who support Kirkorov, Marina expressed his desire to discuss the issue of a settlement agreement,” Yablokova’s lawyer told Komsomolskaya Pravda. “But the communique that Mr. Dobrovinsky sent me says that Kirkorov is not guilty of anything. If Kirkorov says that he is not guilty, then "We will prove this in court. We hoped that Philip would behave decently and would not deny his guilt. Fortunately, we have a proposal written in his own hand. We will make it public in the near future. In it, Kirkorov regrets what happened."
