A cleaning pig for a pipeline for long-distance transportation of a fluid material, wherein the cleaning pig is advanced in the pipeline in a predetermined travel direction by the fluid material that is transported in the pipeline;

• the cleaning pig comprising:
• a pig body;
• at least two collars connected to the pig body and spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction of the pig body, wherein the at least two collars fill a pipe cross-section of the pipeline and wherein between the at least two collars an intermediate space is delimited;
• at least one pressure opening arranged at a trail end of the pig body in the travel direction;
• at least one suction device arranged in the intermediate space;
• at least one suction outlet connected by a suction conduit to the at least one suction device, wherein the at least one suction outlet is arranged before the at least one pressure opening in the travel direction;
• at least one jet opening that opens into the intermediate space and is directed with a jet action against an inner wall of the pipeline;
• a pressure conduit connected to the at least one pressure opening and communicating with the at least one jet opening;
• a venturi tube that passes in the longitudinal direction through the pig from the trail end to a leading end of the pig body, wherein the venturi tube has an intake that is separate from the at least one pressure opening and located in the travel direction at the trail end outside of the intermediate space;
• wherein the at least one suction outlet is connected to the venturi tube.
