DEAD LAWYER PUT ON TRIAL
The Sunday Express. By Tracey Boles
RUSSIAN authorities are to launch a bizarre and unprecedented prosecution against anti-corruption lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, despite him being dead for nearly two years.
Magnitsky, who was a lawyer for British investment group Hermitage Capital Management, died in Russian police custody in November 2009 after being tortured and denied medical care.
The whistleblower was held for 358 days on fabricated tax evasion charges after testifying about the involvement of police officers and government officials in an alleged £150million tax fraud. No one has been prosecuted for his death.
The move by the Russian Interior Ministry to prosecute Magnitsky posthumously has outraged his mother, Natalia, who said: “To put a man on trial after he was killed, when he can no longer defend himself, is sacrilege. It goes against all human morals and laws.” срочный займ на карту онлайн срочный займ на карту https://zp-pdl.com/online-payday-loans-in-america.php https://zp-pdl.com/online-payday-loans-in-america.php займ на карту срочно без отказа
