On that day, “White-blue” beat the Greek Panatinaikos (1: 0) in the first match of the UEFA Champions League group stage. After the game, the main referee of the meeting of Antonio Lopez Nieto reported that at that time General Manager of Kyivans Igor Surkis and Secretary General Vasyl Babiychuk offered him a bribe: two mink fur coats and $ 30,000.
The champion decided to tell what happened in September 1995, as the UEFA’s decision was influenced by the first President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk and the scandalous Viktor Medvedchuk, and how this scandal was commented in Dynamo.
The referee version According to the Spanish referee, on September 12, 1995, Dynamo representatives offered him two fur coats as a “gift”. The Linsmen had to get on a fur coat and a fur hat. Nieto fur coats were taken to his room at the Dnipro hotel, while others should receive “gifts” the next day.
In addition, on September 12, the Judicial Brigade was taken to the villa for the city for a traditional dinner. There were women in open clothes. And there the Dynamo representative handed the main referee a note, which was offered $ 30,000 for Dynamo’s victory:
“Antonio, Dynamo victory. $ 30,000 for you,” the note said.
Recalling that story, Lopez Nieto told that he and other judges also offered to visit the “sauna”, but the arbitrators abandoned the proposal.
“The owners told us,” We go to the city to look at souvenir shops, so you may be worth going to the sauna. “I replied,” No, listen, I don’t want to go to the sauna before the game, it’s harmful to muscle. The sauna they offered to me was, of course, another “sauna”.
For dinner, we went to two Mercedes through the forest, and they brought us to some villa. “This is Dynamo headquarters,” they said, smiling. There was no club flag, and suddenly girls who behaved very provocative appeared. In the room, the club -related man brought me a piece of paper: “Antonio, Dynamo victory, $ 30,000.” I wanted to beat him. I told him, “We go,” – He told judge.
It should be added that the scandal did not affect the career of Nieto. In 1996 and 1998, the Arbiter served the UEFA Cup final matches. He also received a 2002 football championship in South Korea and Japan.
Dynamo version The current President of Kyiv Dynamo, Igor Surkis, rejects all the accusations, telling a completely different version of events. On September 12, Vasyl Babiychuk addressed Surkis – the judges wanted to buy themselves fur products. The arbitrators went to the store on the same day, where they scored the goods totaling $ 30,000 (the main referee took two mink coats and other judges on a fur hat).

As for dinner, during which Surkis seemed to propose antonio 30,000. According to Igor Mikhailovich, it was about the cost of goods that had recruited referees. At some point, Babychuk came to him, saying that the judges were asked about it. And when they learned the price, they wanted to give up fur products.
“I note that the Spaniards had a wonderful mood. They drank wine, joked. During the dinner, I had kidney pain, and I was forced to leave the banquet hall. After a while, Vasyl Babiychuk came to me and said that the judges were asking what the cost of fur products.
I went out and said that, they say, we will figure out tomorrow, after they brought the rest of the fur coats. But since they did not calm down, I took a check and showed him Nieto. He, I emphasize, took the check, looked at the amount, then grabbed his head with the words: “We need nothing: no souvenirs, no paintings, take everything back,” – – He remembered Igor Surkis.
As a result, the arbitrators refused to pay, so they came up with this story about trying to bribe. Actually, this version was voiced by Dynamo press service, immediately after the sentence.
”Only the message of the latter was taken into account when considering this case inspired by the judge of the match by Mr. Antonio Nieto. The information of the representatives of the Dynamo Club, which sheds light on the facts that took place during the stay of Mr. Nieto in Kiev on the eve of the match, was not important.
At the CDC meeting, the question eventually became a rub: to execute either judges or owners. Judges from Spain were closer. Consideration was unusual procedural in nature, so Dynamo representatives were not given the opportunity to give testimony to many people who saw all the path of ill -fated bags – from the store of the store to the closet in the hotel room“.
UEFA decision Dynamo was punished very quickly, as UEFA wanted to replace the people of Kyivans as soon as possible in the group stage of the Champions League. As a result, Instead of “white and blue” the next round played Danish Olborg. It was this team that the people of Kiev were qualified.
“The tournament will be extended without any missed match. We will find a club that will replace the Dynamo Kiev, which is involved in corruption,” – said The then UEFA President Lennart Juhanson.
It was Dynamo who received two years of disqualification from the European Cups, and Surkis and Babiychuk – a lifelong removal from football activities. The people of Kiev appealed to this decision, the case was revised on September 24, 1995, but the verdict remained in force. However, on April 19, 1996, UEFA canceled the punishment to “give football in Ukraine a chance to develop.”
Who saved Dynamo
“Yaroslavsky states that I was running with fur coats for judges? Well, once he wants, I will say: yes, I ran. But I managed to prove my innocence,” – said Somehow Igor Surkis.
There is a question about “innocence”, because in fact, UEFA never withdrew its accusations, but still canceled the punishment. And the key role in this was played by the first President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk. It was he who headed the newly created Guardian Council of FC Dynamo Kyiv. Dynamo Vice president Viktor Medvedchuk and Russian Vyacheslav Koloskov, who was part of the UEFA Executive Committee, helped him to remove disqualification.
Leonid Kravchuk
Actually, their work helped the people of Kiev return to the European Cup, and Igor Surkis – football. For Kravchuk, it was not only a favorite club, but also Ukrainian football in general. Therefore, he did his best to play Dynamo in the European Cups.
“If this happened, it would have caused irreparable damage to all Ukrainian football, and not only Ukrainian. Dynamo has long been a part of Europe. Fortunately, the club was able to overcome all artificial obstacles and get out of the situation with his head raised. He told Leonid Kravchuk.
