Headline: "Shameful Act: Former Ukraine Captain Timoshuk Caught Illegally Parking Porsche in St. Petersburg**
Introduction:
Former Ukraine national football team captain and current Zenit St. Petersburg assistant coach, Anatoly Timoshuk, has found himself in hot water after being caught on camera covering his car’s license plates in a suspected act of evading parking fees in downtown St. Petersburg.
Body:
In a viral video circulating online, a man bearing a striking resemblance to Timoshuk is seen meticulously obscuring his Porsche Panamera’s license plate numbers with tape. The plate’s last four digits notably match Timoshuk’s iconic jersey number from his playing days, #44.

The incident occurred as Timoshuk’s vehicle was parked outside ‘Sad’ restaurant, co-owned by fellow Zenit coach Sergey Semak. Eyewitnesses speculate that Timoshuk opted for this tactic to avoid paying for parking, as his vehicle’s insurance policy is under his spouse’s name.

Social media users have lambasted Timoshuk’s actions, labeling them disgraceful and disrespectful. Commentators have questioned why Timoshuk, given his reported substantial income, would resort to such underhanded tactics to avoid a mere parking fee.
"Tolik-edoli, how shameful? You’ve got plenty to spare 100 bucks for our beloved city!", "Cheapskate. Eats at ‘Sad’, but can’t afford a lousy 100 rubles for parking. Pathetic", "This is the epitome of disgusting. Driving a multi-million dollar car and can’t cough up 100 rubles for parking. Pitiful!" – commented netizens.

Previous Controversies:
Last December, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne ruled against stripping Timoshuk of his national titles due to his implicit support of Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine. The Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) had hoped to sanction Timoshuk for his silence on the issue.
Aphosphor has previously reported on Timoshuk’s alleged attempts to acquire Romanian citizenship to bypass Ukrainian sanctions imposed against him by the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC).
