Hermitage Moves Criminal Complaint Forward
Lawyers acting on behalf of Hermitage Capital filed a new criminal complaint today with the Russian State Investigative Committee demanding the prosecution of officials from Moscow Tax Offices 25 and 28, who had perpetrated the theft of US$107 million through a fraudulent tax refund scheme in 2006.
The complaint implicates Olga Stepanova, head of Moscow Tax Office 28, and Elena Khimina, head of Moscow Tax Office 25. They are the same two officials who a year later approved an identical US$230 million fraudulent tax refund. After Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky exposed the schemes, he was arrested, tortured, and killed in Russian police custody.
A Hermitage Capital spokesman said, “This US$107 fraudulent tax refund case has direct relevance to the case that led the arrest, torture and death in custody of Sergei Magnitsky. If the Russian government is in any way serious about investigating the death of Sergei Magnitsky, or indeed about fighting corruption and instituting the rule of law, they must investigate this crime.”
