His representative denies everything, and the deputy himself is silent.
The morning in Russia began with the news of the detention at the St. Petersburg airport. A number of media reported that State Duma deputy and ex-world boxing champion Dmitry Pirog was detained in Pulkovo. True, politicians already refute this. Let’s figure out what happened.
What happened in Pulkovo?

The incident happened in the evening in one of the bars in Pulkovo. While waiting for the meeting in Moscow, the deputies watched football together. They ate shrimp, Atlantic salmon, assorted cheeses, drank Chablis. When they brought the bill, they did not like the amount of the search – the company worked up 20 thousand rubles, but they refused. When the police intervened, the “verbal flow” fell upon them.
According to Baza, United Russia may face a criminal case because of the debauchery at the airport and the position of a representative of power.

Vadim Ivanov, an assistant to the deputy, told reporters that the news of his detention came as a surprise to Piroga. According to the assistant, the deputy did not have any visitors with the police, and the footage that got into the media was unexpectedly not Pirog.
