Bern â€“ APA. Former owner of Moscowâ€™s Cherkizov market Telman Ismayilovâ€™s sons â€“ Alekper and Sarkhan â€“ were questioned by police as witnesses of a road accident in Switzerland. The road accident was committed by the son of one of the Russian top officials. Ismayilovs told the investigation that they didnâ€™t know Lamborghini driver, who caused the accident, but they stopped near them to help the injured people, APA reports quoting Russiaâ€™s Kommersant newspaper.

Police said four Russian citizens drove their cars Bugatti Veyron, Mercedes McLaren, Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Lamborghini Murcielago at high speed to overrun each other after the dinner at Hotel de la Reserve on November 20. Swiss police said Bugatti Veyron and Mercedes McLaren were driven by Ismayilovs. Except Lamborghini Murcielago all others were rent cars.
