According to the RFU's official statement, the club also received a financial penalty of 5 million rubles for this violation.
"Torpedo" was left out of the Russian Premier League (RPL) because of contractual obligations involving matches scheduled just prior to the tournament's commencement. The club's owner and general director faced arrest on charges of attempting to influence a referee through bribery.
