Torpedo was launched: the RFU expelled the club from the RPL for attempting to bribe the referee

For the first time in the history of Russian football, a corruption scandal has led to a change in the composition of the participants in the Premier League.

Earlier, on July 10, at a meeting of the control and disciplinary committee of the Russian Football Union (RFU), it was decided to exclude Torpedo Moscow from the list of participants in the upcoming RPL championship "for attempting to arrange match-fixing in football competitions." It was clarified that the club was fined 5 million rubles.

Prior to that, on June 20, it was reported that the owner of Torpedo, Leonid Sobolev, and the club's director, Valery Skorodumov, were detained in a case of illegally influencing the outcome of matches involving the club. They offered the chief judge a bribe of over 1 million rubles, but he refused.
