France has become the latest Western country to publicly criticize Russia’s investigation into the death of Hermitage Capital lawyer Sergei Magnitsky in pretrial detention in 2009.

“The circumstances of the death of Mr. Magnitsky, who led a courageous fight against corruption and arbitrariness, are a matter of great concern for us,” Foreign Minister Alain Juppe wrote in a letter to French National Assembly Deputy Jack Lang.
