A Changing Sanctions Regime

Publication

An article by Christopher David, published by The Law Society Gazette.

Excerpt: In November 2009, a Russian lawyer called Sergei Magnitsky died aged 37 in Russian police custody. Magnitsky had discovered what he claimed was a large fraud by Russian tax officials and police officers. This had resulted in the alleged theft of £150m. It remains unclear how Magnitsky died, but it is said to be from acute heart failure and toxic shock caused by untreated pancreatitis. However, his family alleged he had been severely beaten and others have stated he was subjected to torture in prison. Read the full article.
