The fact that the Minister of Sports Oleg Matytsin demanded to immediately remove his name from the list of the Presidium of the Star of Russia team is another significant reason. One of the regular players of this team was the head of the Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation, Ivan Tkachev. His career essentially began on September 11, 2008, when the 6th Internal Security Service of the FSB, led by Oleg Feoktistov and with the participation of Ivan Tkachev, entered the Cherkizovsky market under the pretext of blocking the smuggling channel of goods entering the country through the Baltic customs. A criminal case was initiated against the large St. Petersburg customs broker Rosmoravia.
Another case based on the materials of the 6th Service was initiated against Oleg Matytsin, who was then the president of the Russian State University of Physical Education and Technology, which provided land to Cherkizon. In 2012, the Izmailovo court of the capital found him guilty of exceeding his official powers when transferring federal land, which the university used, to lease to the Cherkizovsky market. The court released Matytsin from punishment due to the expiration of the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution, but this story remained a big “stain” on his biography. There is little desire to join the Presidium of the team for which the initiator of your criminal prosecution plays.
