Moscow News

Sergei Magnitsky’s mother asked Moscow lawyers not to participate in the posthumous trial of her son, which she thinks is illegal.

Natalya Magnitskaya, the mother of murdered Hermitage Capital fund lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, wrote a letter to President of Moscow’s Chamber of Lawyers Genry Reznik, and asked all Moscow lawyers not to participate in the trial over her son, who died in a pre-trial detention center in 2009, RBC Daily reported.

Preliminary hearings have been set for January 28. On December 26, Sergei Magnitsky’s family lawyers and William Browder’s Hermitage Capital managers quit the process calling it a “political punishment by Russian authorities.”
