U.S. State Department Report on Posthumous Trial against Sergei Magnitsky

U.S. Secretary Kerry submitted the 2013 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices to the United States Congress. The report on Russia says that human rights advocates believe the posthumous case against Sergei Magnitsky was fabricated and was retaliatory. The report also notes the failure of the Russian authorities to bring those responsible for Magnitsky’s death to justice.

RUSSIA 2013 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT

Administration of Justice: Authorities had yet to bring to justice the individuals responsible for the deaths of prominent journalists, activists, and whistleblowers, notably Sergey Magnitskiy…

In the case of Sergey Magnitskiy, a lawyer who died of medical neglect and abuse while in pretrial detention in 2009, at year’s end authorities had not brought those responsible for his death to justice, and the Investigative Committee closed its investigation of the circumstances of his death in March claiming to have found no evidence of wrongdoing…

During the year authorities initiated criminal proceedings against a deceased individual. On July 11, a court found whistleblower Sergey Magnitskiy guilty of tax evasion in the first posthumous trial in the country’s history, in a case that human rights advocates believed was fabricated. On July 11, a court posthumously convicted Sergey Magnitskiy of tax evasion. The retaliatory case against Magnitskiy was opened after he attempted to expose large-scale government tax fraud and was investigated in part by individuals whom he had accused. He later died in custody after prison authorities denied him medical treatment. Despite widely publicized, credible evidence of criminal conduct that resulted in Magnitskiy’s death, authorities failed to prosecute those responsible.
