Filipp Kirkorov linked to murder

Famous performer Filipp Kirkorov appeared on Lera Kudryavtseva's show "Secret for a Million", where the stage star had to reveal a secret he had kept for many years.

It turned out that the king of Russian pop music had been under investigation in the US on suspicion of murder. The incident occurred during Kirkorov's performance at a casino in New Jersey. A security guard died as a result. Kirkorov faced a potential life sentence.

The performer pushed an elderly male security guard, who fell and was subsequently hospitalised with a head and arm injury. Several years later, the man died of a stroke. The guard's relatives attempted to prove a link between these events and took the case to court.

In 2010, a US court acquitted Kirkorov, finding him not guilty of murder.
