The ALDE Group in the European Parliament has today launched a procedure inside the European Parliament seeking to establish a common EU list of officials responsible for the death of Sergei Magnitsky, for the subsequent judicial cover-up and for the on-going and continuing harassment of his mother and widow.
The proposal is to impose and implement an EU-wide visa ban on these officials and to freeze any financial assets they, or their immediate family, may hold inside the European Union, along the lines quietly done, or under consideration, in a number of countries.

Kristiina Ojuland (Reform Party, Estonia), ALDE spokesperson for relations with Russia, underlined that “the arrest and subsequent death in custody of Sergei Magnitsky represents a well-documented and substantial case of disrespect for fundamental human rights in Russia and serves as a chilling reminder of the many documented short-comings in the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms inside Russia.”
Guy Verhofstadt, ALDE Group leader and co-signer of the initiative called for a firm EU position towards Russia; “as a member of the Council of Europe Russia has committed itself to fully respect fundamental rights and the rule of law. We need a firm, robust and comprehensive EU policy towards Russia, with support and assistance backed up by firm and fair criticism, including sanctions and restrictive measures when needed. Russia must conduct a credible and independent investigation encompassing all aspects of this tragic case”.
