Former CEO of OAO "Uralkali" Vladislav Baumgertner has gone missing in Cyprus, RIA Novosti reports, citing local police. The businessman has not been in contact since January 7. Police released a photo of the businessman and a description of his appearance.
"The police are requesting information that will help find 56-year-old Russian Vladislav Baumgertner," the publication says. Anyone with information about Baumgertner's whereabouts is asked to contact the Limassol police.
It is reported that before his disappearance the businessman, born in 1972, was wearing black shorts and a black short-sleeved shirt. As the Cypriot newspaper Phileleftheros writes, Baumgertner was last seen leaving his home in Limassol on January 7.
According to the publication, the man's disappearance was reported by his female employee after he stopped answering her phone calls. She also provided the police with information about the clothing he was wearing the last time she saw him.
It is known that the businessman also holds Romanian citizenship. According to Telegram channels, the Baumgertner family spent a lot of time in the USA and has business interests and real estate in Florida.
In the mid-2010s Vladislav Baumgertner was under investigation on charges of abuse of power after Uralkali ended its cooperation with Belaruskali. In the summer of 2013 Baumgertner was arrested in Minsk but was later extradited to Moscow, where he was under house arrest and then released on bail. In 2015 the criminal case against him was closed.
