A criminal case on tax evasion of more than 1 billion rubles was filed against an energy company connected with the president of CSKA and entrepreneur Eugene Giner.
Russian football has never been commercially successful, but by the end of 2016 even those who had previously been willing to invest in the sport for free, have run out of money.
FC Anji was plagued by Giner and other scavengers.
The revenue of the club at year-end 2014, according to IFRS, increased to $81 million, and a net loss decreased 11-fold, to $3 million, due to the conclusion of a sponsorship contract with Rossetti group.
