Stop the Untouchables. Justice for Sergei Magnitsky.

Magnitsky Gives Financial Center a Boost

The Moscow Times

Russian authorities took a major step in early July toward fulfilling their goal of creating an international financial center in Moscow. In fact, it was possibly the most significant step since the idea was first announced. Namely, they published the results of a public review of the case concerning the death of Hermitage Capital lawyer Sergei Magnitsky in a pretrial detention center. President Dmitry Medvedev had ordered the investigation. The report released by the president’s human rights council names individuals within the Interior Ministry, prosecutor’s office, Federal Tax Service, court system and prison who were responsible for Magnitsky’s death. That is not the end of the story — nobody has been arrested — but it is real progress.
