The President and owner of Shakhtar, Rinat Akhmetov, commented on the rumors about his involvement in the death of his predecessor at the Donetsk club, Akhat Bragin.
Rinat Akhmetov- This is a lie, and this lie causes me great pain. Akhatem and I were 5 minutes late for the match, he jumped out of the car and ran to the stadium without waiting for me. The explosion was about 5 seconds later, no more. It thundered as soon as I opened the door of my car. When your best friend dies in front of your eyes, and you realize that your death was 5 seconds late, and after that you are accused of something, it is very painful and unfair.
I have never been associated with any criminal organizations, I have never been prosecuted, and no criminal charges have been filed against me,” Akhmetov told The Post.
