Efremov wrote a letter of apology to the lawyer of the driver who died in an accident

'14.12.2020'

Alexander Dobrovinsky told "RIA News"that the actor Mikhail Efremov apologized to him for his impartial remarks during the trial.

In court, Efremov repeatedly entered into conflicts with Dobrovinsky, who represented the interests of the victims, and accused him of unprofessionalism, racism and other sins.

“Unexpectedly for myself, I received a letter from Mikhail Efremov with an apology addressed to me. In it, he said that he realized that his behavior and statements at the trial in relation to me and my team were not worthy of an adult and conscientious person, ”said Dobrovinsky.

According to him, if an artist “wrote it sincerely, and not under dictation, then it only commands respect - after all, admitting his mistakes is much more difficult than committing them”.

“Mikhail Olegovich asks me not to conceal any grudge against him. I have never concealed anger at him and now I do not conceal. I just did my job, exactly what my clients asked for, ”the lawyer noted and wished Efremov good luck.
