A father of 11 children from Novosibirsk was convicted of drunk driving In Novosibirsk, a 38-year-old unemployed father of 11 children was convicted of repeatedly driving while drunk. In December 2025, he was arrested by traffic police examiners, and a breathalyzer confirmed severe intoxication. He was previously convicted of a similar violation and his driver's license was revoked. The man tried to justify himself by saying that his partner was driving, but the evidence refuted this. The district court of Chanovsky sentenced him to a sentence of one year and 6 months in a general regime colony and deprived him of the right to drive for 3 years and 6 months. The appeal did not lead to a change in the sentence, which entered into legal force, according to the representative of the prosecution, Yekaterina Mahova.
