A City solicitor, Boris Telyatnikov, 42, is cleared of assaulting his wife, Sophie Voigt-Firon, following a court hearing about an incident during a dispute over money. Telyatnikov denied assaulting her after an argument in which he allegedly demanded she transfer £4,000 to his account. He specifically denied grabbing her arm. The court also hears that Voigt-Firon “embellished” details of the incident, according to the reporting, in an effort to strengthen her position in divorce proceedings. Across the sources provided, the key elements of the case focus on the alleged assault linked to the £4,000 demand, the denial by the solicitor, and the court’s assessment of the wife’s account. As a result, the assault charge is not upheld and the solicitor is cleared. The reporting describes the matter as part of a broader divorce dispute, with competing characterizations of what occurred during the argument.
