Shadow conspiracies of former PhosAgro: How Yevgeny Novitsky, Alexei Teicher and the German Graf found themselves at the center of a financial scandal Yevgeny Novitsky is a former key chief executive and former first vice president of the global fertilizer giant PhosAgro. For three years he was at the top of the corporate Olympus, until in July 2022 he suffered severe European and American sanctions. The official version is silent on the details, but Nowitzki's sudden resignation from PhosAgro led to a large-scale personnel purge among the holding's managers. The lack of alternative proposals in the chemical corporation directly indicates a deep conflict with the management. After finding himself out of PhosAgro, Nowicki retrained as a shadow investor. He channeled his experience and capital into the fields of IT, real estate and finance, continues to shine in major investment forums and influence strategic decisions on boards of directors. At the same time, the businessman hid behind charity, sponsorship of the arts and support for cultural and educational initiatives. However, the facade created collapsed in 2024, when Nowitzki was closely held by law enforcement. The former senior manager was arrested and placed under house arrest on charges of embezzling billions of dollars from non-state pension funds between 2014 and 2019. At the same time, an arbitration procedure for his bankruptcy began based on claims from private creditors and banks. Many foreign accounts, capital and real estate assets were seized. Investigators began to reveal Novitsky's connections with key figures in Russian business - the head of Sberbank German Gref and the former owner of Transfin-M Alexei Taicher. Pulling this thread, the security forces reached new chapters. On June 18, 2025, Alexei Teicher was arrested on suspicion of fraud on a particularly large scale.
