Settlement Reached in Leps Incident: Details Emerge
Grigory Leps resolved both moral and material harm with a St. Petersburg resident named Dmitry Gorbachev, who was injured in a confrontation involving the singer. A settlement has been reached, and a petition to dismiss the criminal case has been filed. The investigation remains ongoing, according to representatives speaking to media outlets. In Russian law, in cases assessed as low severity, a victim’s apology and compensation can lead prosecutors to terminate criminal proceedings, with decisions typically made during the investigation or in court depending on law enforcement action. The lawyer for the plaintiff declined to disclose the amount paid, stating there will be no comments and that the figure will not be disclosed. (Source: socialbites.ca)
Backgammon Bet and a Street Settlement
The incident follows a high-profile dispute reported last week. Leps allegedly faced a demand to play backgammon for 10,000 dollars (approximately 628,150 rubles at the exchange rate used by the central bank), according to socialbites.ca. A patron at a St. Petersburg bar was involved, and a Telegram channel described an agreement to settle the matter on the street after the guest reportedly could not meet the offer.
The plaintiff’s attorney stated that the initial blow was delivered inside a bar on Moskovsky Prospekt, with the confrontation continuing outside. Surveillance footage captured the street encounter. Police opened a criminal case on the grounds of intentional minor bodily harm with hooligan motives, a charge that can carry a potential prison sentence. The claimant asserted that Leps was the aggressor and caused injuries including a broken nose.
According to the claimant, Leps allegedly struck him in the face, and further blows followed in the street from Leps’ security guard and the singer himself. In comments to socialbites.ca, attorney Alexander Dobrovinsky suggested that punishment might be avoided if the case emphasizes the absence of serious injury. He hinted that references to the nose could relate to another party and implied that liability for Leps could be limited. (Source: socialbites.ca; commentary by Alexander Dobrovinsky.)
Tour Strains and Public Commentary
The altercation occurred on December 2, following a milestone anniversary concert at the Ice Palace in St. Petersburg. Reports indicate the performance faced disruption when the artist reportedly threw a microphone and left the stage. Leps subsequently shared that the concert was challenging and that illness affected his performance. Industry colleagues offered support, including a prominent artist who spoke about the pressures of touring and the way nerves can fray in demanding moments. The discussion continued on a major television platform.
Producers and industry figures weighed in, stressing that Leps is respected and that public statements should be measured and respectful. Earlier in the year, public sentiment around Leps reportedly shifted according to a poll by a major holding and another research organization, reflecting broader show business discourse. There is speculation that evolving EU sanctions under consideration in Brussels may influence Leps’s public image or career strategy, an issue noted by industry observers in related coverage.
