Dzyuba claimed extortion due to resonant videos published on the Internet

Forward of the Moscow Lokomotiv, 34-year-old Artem Dzyuba, commented on the distribution of a resonant video with his participation. Earlier today, on June 9, a video with an intimate football player was published on Telegram. Dzyuba called for a calmer attitude to what is happening, and also stated that he was extorted money.

“Again, some kind of incomprehensible noise began, again they are trying to inflate something: more, more, more. I can honestly say that this episode has already taken place, and I have already turned this page, made a lot of all sorts of conclusions, analyzed it, so I don’t want to return to this. It really doesn’t interest me. If it’s interesting to someone, it’s your right, ”the footballer commented in his Telegram channel.

“The last two or three days they wrote to me, they again extorted money, threatened me, I don’t know who, for what, who needs it. Basically, I’m not interested anymore,” he said.
