Gymnastics coach in Russia faces 6 years in prison: what are the accusations

A Hungarian coach who worked with children at a sports complex in Russia has been accused of extorting nearly 300 thousand rubles from the parents of her students. According to the investigation, she undeservedly took money for providing additional services that were part of the coach's duties.

According to the prosecution, the woman admitted that she received money from parents for the development of the children, but claimed that these were payments for additional services in preparing children for competitions in rhythmic gymnastics, such as music cutting, developing performance routines, makeup, and more.

The court will decide what punishment the coach faces, but for now, she will have to answer for her actions before the law. Such cases highlight the importance of adhering to ethics and rules in interactions with parents and students at sports institutions, as violations can have serious consequences for all parties involved.
