A Russian dancer has been found guilty of an acid attack that nearly blinded the artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet. Sulphuric acid was thrown at Sergei Filin outside his Moscow flat in January, badly damaging his eyesight. Filin has had more than 20 operations to try to save his eyesight. A judge said Pavel Dmitrichenko and two others had intentionally caused grievous bodily harm. Following the month long trial, state prosecutors asked for a nine-year prison sentence. Dmitrichenko has acknowledged he wanted Filin roughed up but said he had not wanted acid to be used. He pleaded not guilty.
