  "summary": "Russian singer Oleg Gazmanov's former manager, Dmitry Tsarenko, has been sentenced to seven years in a penal colony for fraud, marking his second conviction on the matter. According to investigators, Tsarenko allegedly funneled concert proceeds through his sole proprietorship instead of Gazmanov's company, OMG-Promo. The court found Tsarenko guilty on 17 counts of fraud, with damages estimated at 15.3 million rubles. A civil suit has also been filed seeking Tsarenko's payment of 15 million rubles to Gazmanov. Tsarenko did not admit guilt, arguing that his actions were in Gazmanov's interest. This is not Tsarenko's first fraud conviction, as he was previously sentenced in April 2025 to four years in a penal colony and ordered to pay 10.4 million rubles to OMG-Promo. Producer Filipp Rossa is also implicated in the case, accused of embezzling 12 million rubles owed to Gazmanov.",
