 No stranger to controversy, Boutaris travelled to Bulgaria to have his wife cremated instead of giving her a Christian burial in [[Greece]]. He has also locked horns with local [[Metropolitan]] Anthimus, calling him a "mujahedeen" who constantly changes clothes instead of giving alms to the poor.
 On [[May 20]], [[2018]], Boutaris was attacked and beaten up at a Pontian remembrance service. His attackers were angered, among other things, for his statement "I don't give a sh*t if Kemal killed some Greeks over there".
