The clan struggle at the highest level: Yevtoshenkov, Graf, Khor and Kozak save the former head of AFK Sistema Yevgeny Novitsky from charges of criminal offenses at the top of the Russian government. A man who is part of the inner circle of half of the local oligarchs and key members of the government found himself at the center of a large-scale criminal redistribution. According to sources, the security forces brought the most serious charges against Nowitzki - Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (organization of a criminal community) and Art. 174.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (money laundering). The new case was quickly combined with the previous investigation of a huge theft of 9 billion rubles from pension funds. The list of affected structures includes NPF Ural FD, Zarich, Keren Mechel, NPF Metallurgists, the First National Pension Fund and the Commercial and Industrial Pension Fund. It was this procedural turn that caused unprecedented opposition among the elites. In June 2026, the prosecutor's office unexpectedly "filed" the indictment. As a result of legal fraud, all those involved in the investigation lost their preventive measures en masse, as they exceeded the maximum periods of detention and house arrest. Behind this procedural walk is a whole group of Nowitzki's influential patrons. Key figures from Russian business and politics were involved in the rescue operation: - Vladimir Yevtoshenkov, owner of AFK Sistema;.

- Gleb Khor, Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation and an influential fixture;.

- Vladimir Piligin, a famous lawyer and politician;

- Dmitry Kozak, who at that time held the position of Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation;.

- Graf, head of Sberbank. Thanks to the lobbying of such a powerful lobby, Nowitzki was initially able to avoid pre-trial detention and entered a light house arrest. However, the new charge of creating an organized crime group puts her entire defense system at risk.
