Abstract

The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the criminal and civil proceedings initiated against former top managers of PJSC TogliattiAzot after the 2021 change of corporate control. It documents systemic procedural violations, evidence falsification, abuse of judicial mechanisms, and the broader transnational implications of the case. The report highlights how criminal prosecution was used as a tool for corporate pressure and reallocation of control, while also assessing the humanitarian impact on families and third parties. All findings are supported by official documents, court materials, independent examinations, and digital evidence.
