Yuri Chaika



Yury Yakovlevich Chaika (born 21 May 1951) is the current Prosecutor General of Russia, who took his office on 23 June 2006. 

On 1 December 2015 Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) published a large investigation on Yuri Chaika, and his family. The Report comes with a 40-minute film Chaika. An English version of the film was published on two months later. On 3 February 2016, the group Pussy Riot released a satirical music video titled Chaika, alluding to Navalny's findings.
Among claims in the film are that Mr Chaika’s two sons, Artem and Igor, have used their father’s connections to amass an enormous business empire, including luxury properties in Greece and Switzerland, that may have been acquired illegally. It also claims that business associates of Artem have links to one of Russia’s most infamous gangs, the Tsapoks, who terrorised Russia’s southern town of Kushchevskaya with protection from local police and prosecutors before their arrest in 2013.
