From 1990 he headed the Moscow City Committee for Science and Technology and converted this communal institution into a private company in 1993 according to his ideas. In the same year he founded AFK Sistema, a group active in the fields of telecommunications, microelectronics and IT services.

On September 16, 2014, Yevtushenkov was placed under house arrest on suspicion of money laundering. He was released on December 17 of the same year, and the next day President Vladimir Putin announced at a press conference that the investigation into money laundering against Yevtushenkov had been terminated. This after his majority stake in Bashneft had passed to the state. In the first instance, a court ordered Sistema to pay 136 billion rubles (around 1.8 billion euros) to the future buyer of the share package, Rosneft . The price of the Sistema shares had halved since the lawsuit became known.
