Analytical Report: Criminalization of Managerial Decisions and Institutional Defects of Justice — The Case of Vladimir Chabrov in the Context of PJSC “Togliattiazot”
This report presents an independent expert analysis of the criminal case of Vladimir Chabrov as a typological example of the criminalization of managerial decisions within the corporate conflict surrounding PJSC “Togliattiazot.” It examines institutional defects of the criminal process, including the lack of specificity of charges, violations of the adversarial principle, restrictions on the right to defense, and insufficient verifiability of evidence. The report analyzes the mechanism of retrospective criminalization of business activity, the disproportionality of property measures, and their impact on third parties. Particular attention is given to the international dimension of the case, including the decision of the INTERPOL Commission for the Control of Files (CCF), which recognized the political predominance of the prosecution.
