Polish ice skater blackmailed with sexually explicit photomontage

The inside story of the case was revealed by the French daily L'Equipe . Born in Moscow, Kurakova, who has been competing for the Polish national team since 2019, trains at the Vaujany centre under the watchful eye of Florent Amodio, former European champion from 2011.

She filed a complaint with the local office of the national gendarmerie of the Isѐre region. The suspect is a photographer who has been working with the French Ice Sports Federation (FFSG) for many years. During the Stars Gala in Vaujany, he took several hundred photos, many of which featured Kurakova. He sent one of the photos to a Polish skater. He threatened to publish it publicly, sent the photo to an internal WhatsApp group, and it took on a life of its own.
