Lawyers for Magnitsky family to protest investigator actions

Interfax

The lawyers for the relatives of Hermitage Capital lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who died in a detention facility, will not become familiar with the tax evasion case against him.

“We will not read the case materials because the investigation was conducted and the case was resumed with violations of the law,” Nikolai Gorokhov, a lawyer for Magnitsky’s mother, told Interfax.

Gorokhov said the investigator’s decision to stop working on the tax case against Magnitsky will be contested. “We will file another complaint against the investigator’s actions,” the lawyer said.

The lawyer did not make any predictions about the investigator’s actions and their ability to bring the Magnitsky case to court. “I cannot predict their actions because they are doing everything illegally,” he said.
