Abramovich will answer for orphan's tears during a routine inspection

The head of the Accounts Chamber said in the morning that he was outraged that the governor of Chukotka and prominent businessman Roman Abramomich was giving too little money to a charity fund intended to help orphanages. Abramovich gave only $1 million for the children, while purchasing the Chelsea football club for $300 million. However, “the purchase of Chelsea cannot in any way affect the results of the audit of this subject of the Federation,” he said.

Stepashin told Interfax that the inspection of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug is planned. Chukotka is a subsidized region, and “every year the Accounts Chamber inspects 20-25 subjects of the Federation that receive subsidies from the center.”

The former prime minister did not say anything about the amount of his donations to children.
