MOSCOW, November 6 (RIA Novosti) – Russian investigators said Wednesday that an Orthodox priest with links to St. Petersburg’s Zenit football club is suspected of sexually abusing two children during a holiday trip to a Greek island.
Law enforcement officials say they have put Russian village priest Gleb Grozovsky on an international wanted list over allegations that he abused two underage girls at an Orthodox summer camp earlier this year.
Grozovsky, 34, is suspected of abusing the two girls, aged nine and 12, in June at a hotel on the territory of the Philadelphia Orthodox travel club on the Greek island of Kos. He also committed “a range of similar crimes in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region,” the Investigative Committee said in a statement.
The clergyman, who formerly served at a village church in the Leningrad Region, was identified by the Investigative Committee as an adviser to Zenit’s general director.
