Senator John McCain's Letter
Senator McCain Calls Upon President Obama to Apply Aggressive New Sanctions Designed to Combat Terrorism to the Russian Organized Crime Group Who Murdered Sergei Magnitsky
has stolen at least $800 million from the Russian people with the aid and protection of the Russian government. The group is responsible for the $230 million theft, uncovered by Sergei Magnitsky, which remains the largest single tax theft in Russian history.
The Russian government has chosen to protect the group from charges of theft of state funds, false arrest, torture, and murder. Because the Klyuev Organized Crime Group contains members of the Russian government and because the highest authorities in Russia are protecting it, it is no longer possible to consider the group independent of the Russian state.
The Klyuev Organized Crime Group has the full cooperation and protection of high ranking Russian government officials. Its crimes are state sanctioned.
Its members are untouchable in Russia.

The death in prison of Sergei Magnitsky, a young Russian lawyer, remains one of the darkest scandals in the blotchy history of Russia's criminal justice system. One year on, this documentary brings the full details of his tragic story to light.
Sergei Magnitsky was falsely arrested and tortured to death in pre-trial detention by the Russian Interior Ministry officers, whom he had caught stealing and whom he testified against. Despite the mountain of evidence against the officers, the Russian Government is currently treating his arrest as legitimate and his death in custody as an accident.
