Fernando’s former employee says that the player knew that medicine was prohibited in Russia: “An absurdity” | spectacular sport

– I thought it was simply absurd that Fernando denied that he did not know about medicine, because he had a conversation with his wife, Rafaella. He was in the living room playing with his son when he said that the doctor, the Spartak doctor, could not pass the prescription of the drug, since this drug is prohibited in Russia – said Cristiane, who last worked in Russia in December 2018 .

Today, the babysitter lives in Brazil, and she is following with indignation the case of Robson Oliveira, Fernando’s former driver who has been imprisoned for more than a year in the Kashira penitentiary, 120 kilometers from the city of Moscow. Robson is accused of drug trafficking and drug trafficking, as he unknowingly entered Russia with two boxes of Mytedon or methadone hydrochloride.

From the beginning of the process, when Robson was arrested, Fernando, Rafaella and their in-laws denied knowing that Mytedon was banned in Russia. The report on Esporte Espetacular contacted the family’s lawyer, but received a response through the player’s press office. In a note, Fernando’s family reiterates that they did not know that the drug in question was prohibited in Russia.

Cristiane is presenting a case in the Labor Court against Fernando and Rafaella. The former babysitter says that, on at least one occasion, she took sealed packages to Rafaella, a vacation destination in Europe, and then they went together to Russia. She rebels when she puts herself in Robson’s situation and imagines that the same thing could have happened to him.

The substance methadone hydrochloride is legalized in Brazil, but it is prohibited in Russia. The drug is used to treat addicts to opium, heroin, and also to treat diabetes and chronic pain. Willian Farias, Rafaella’s father and Fernando’s father-in-law, was the owner of the medicines that were in a suitcase, which Robson unknowingly took to Moscow fulfilling William’s request. If convicted, Robson faces up to 20 years in prison.

“Through the official note below, the family of the player Fernando provides the necessary clarifications for the Esporte Espetacular report:

We reiterate that no one in our family knew that the drug in question was banned in Russia. If someone has something more than that to say, they will have to demonstrate the veracity of said declaration, otherwise we will take the appropriate measures.

Since the beginning of the process, we have sent money to help Robson in prison, as shown on the receipts we have. We only stopped making these deposits when Robson wrote a handwritten letter rejecting any help from us, including the resignation of the lawyer in Russia. Subsequently, it revoked its decision and we returned to finance legal support through a cooperation contract, which is still in force. A few days ago we learned that Robson is also asking for financial support in the prison again. This application has already been accepted and is made available to your attorneys.

At no time do we deny that the remedy was from William, neither in Russia nor in Brazil. Unfortunately, for Russian justice this does not change Robson’s condition. The changes requested by Dr. Olímpio in the cooperation contract were discussed and resolved by mutual agreement, so much so that the document has his signature.

Many may not know it, but Robson’s lawyer in Brazil is not allowed to work outside the country, nor can he visit or have any contact with his client. Therefore, we understand that there is no reason for Olímpio to travel every month with our funds, as this is without interference in relation to Robson’s situation in all areas. A new professional has already been hired in Russia, who Dr. Olympio himself chose and paid for us, who provides all the necessary support for Robson.

It is worth mentioning that the current lawyer, named Pavel, is the same one who was in the case at the beginning and who had been dismissed under the accusation of Dr. Olímpio on the occasion that he would only pursue our interests, when in reality he did not we participate in their actions. decisions For us, Pavel’s return to the case is illuminating in the sense of showing that we always try to provide the best for Robson.

We think it is important to note that it was strange that Robson said in the last interview that he was not receiving any help from us, when it is clear that the truth is different. It happens the same way when your lawyer in Brazil criticizes us, even taking into account what you are asking us. We would like to make it clear to all that we are not on opposite sides and that we will continue to respond to what is required of us legally and officially to help Robson.
