Dossier
In 2006 members of St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly appealed to the Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika, urging him to start an anti-corruption investigation in the Russian Premier League. The appeal initiated by Victor Evtukhov, Legislative Assembly member from the United Russia, was supported unanimously. The request to the Prosecutor General stated that many bookmakers, “apparently, having inside information, know the outcome and results of matches involving mentioned teams in advance.” When asked why the deputies did not address relevant authorities such as Vyacheslav Mutko, head of RFU, or Sports Minister Vyacheslav Fetisov, Evtukhov replied that “since neither RFU nor the Federal Agency for Physical Culture and Sport can bring the order, whom else should we have contacted, but the Prosecutor General.”

In October 2011 an Internet scandal burst out. Through Twitter of Georgy Poltavchenko, St. Petersburg Governor, Evtukhov blamed Mikhail Sukhodolsky, St. Petersburg police chief, in causing traffic jams. Some time after Evtukhov said that it was an assistant of his who had written that. The assistant, according to Evtukhov, exceeded his authority and left the abusive message in Poltavchenko’s Twitter, but he personally apologized to Sukhodolsky, and then said that St. Petersburg police chief was not in town when he and his assistant were stuck in a traffic jam. In turn, Sukhodolsky told reporters that he considered the incident settled.
