US Bill to ban visas for Russians linked to lawyer’s death

Legalbrief Today

US lawmakers have introduced a Bill that would prohibit the US State Department (DOS) from issuing visas to individuals, or their family members, who are connected to the death of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.

A Jurist report notes that Magnitsky, who was arrested on allegations of tax fraud and held for over a year without a trial after representing London-based hedge fund Hermitage Capital in a suit against Russian officials, died last November in a Moscow prison. Magnitsky’s family and employers have made allegations that, on several occasions, he was denied medical treatment that could have saved his life and his death has been labelled a ‘murder’ by Russian human rights leaders. The report quotes Senator Benjamin Cardin, who introduced the Bill, as saying it was necessary for the US to take action because the Russian judicial system had failed to hold anyone accountable for Magnitsky’s death. займы на карту займ на карту срочно без отказа https://zp-pdl.com/best-payday-loans.php https://www.zp-pdl.com займ на карту
