President in modern michael apologize for his quote insults have proposed an Emergency Fund of 20000000. 00 at the g. 7 summit on monday. Campaigning for both in the final days ahead of the Regional Elections in germany more than ever smaller parties like the environmentalist greens are expected to change the political landscape. Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us the European Court of human rights has condemned russia for multiple violations against the late surrogate magnitsky a russian corruption whistleblower who died in detention in 2009 magnitsky his death came after exposed widespread tax fraud that implicated russian officials the European Court determined that he had been ill treated and denied medical assistance in prison and russia following his arrest for a legit text of a ship. His death resulted in the u. S. Congress passing the magnitsky act which allows the government to freeze assets and ban v. S. S. Of human rights violators around the world and were going to turn to a one time friend of surrogate magnitsky bill browder is head of the Investment FundHermitage Capital management which was once the largest foreign Portfolio Investor in russia he led a campaign to punish russian officials for magnitsky his death and later lobbied the u. S. Congress to pass the magnitsky act bill browder joins us from london good to have you on d. W. Bell i know that magnitsky was your lawyer when he said he uncovered massive fraud by russian officials so what do you make of the verdict from the European Court of justice today. Well 1st and foremost this is 10 years in the coming the magnitsky family and myself and various other friends of Sergei Magnitsky have been fighting for justice for 10 years and so its nice and its a big vindication for his family that hes gotten justice 2nd and more importantly the russian government has been lying and spreading propaganda about Sergei Magnitsky during this 10 year period trying to change the narrative of what happened to him and this unanimous decision by the European Court of human rights that completely destroys the russian governments narrative and basically says that the russian government murdered surrogate magnitsky and thats a very important. Court finding from the European Court for human rights what consequences does it actually have for russia though bill. Well the main consequence is that as a result of surrogate magnitsky is murder there are now 6 countries that have magnitsky x. The magnitsky act says that human rights violators should have their visas taken away and their assets frozen Vladimir Putin has made it his largest priority to try to repeal the magnitsky act by attacking the magnitsky story and by having this verdict in place it means of the magnitsky acts wont be repealed and that hopefully soon the European Union in germany and many other countries in europe will have their own magnitsky acts but the reality on the ground bill is that nobody has actually been convicted in russia for the death of certain magnitsky. That is correct and until the putin regime and i dont expect that they will be convicted in russia and since we cant convict people in russia we have to get justice outside of russia and the kind of justice that we can get outside of russia is to go after these peoples money and their freedom to travel which may not sound like true justice and it isnt true justice but its something that these people value very preciously and the fact that we can take that away and with the magnitsky act is something that really does and the impunity that theyre enjoying right now we should say that the russian government is that that there is nothing to this case that this is part of an effort to boost anti russian sentiment across the world how confident are you that the European Union would now passed a similar magnitsky act to that which what the Congress Passed the u. S. Congress passed in 2012. Well the the proposal has already been put forward by the dutch government in the last year has been supported by the German Government by the french government by various scandinavian governments and i think its something that will happen and it only improves our the probability of it happening with this European Court for human rights ruling because to the extent that anyone believed the russian narrative which which you just summarized very nicely that has been rubbish by this court ruling you have been investigating what happened to the millions of dollars that disappeared when your Investment Fund was raided what were your findings. That one of the most important findings is that so we paid to the russian government 230000000. 00 of taxes and what surrogate magnitsky had discovered was that a group of corrupt officials we funded those taxes to themselves weve traced that money and the most important recipient is a man named surrogate role doogan who is who was exposed by the Panama Papers as being putins nominee so effectively Vladimir Putin has been the recipient of the crime that Sergei Magnitsky was killed over which is one of the reasons why putin has made it such a high priority to try to school quassia this law and try to change the story because hes involved right bill browder of joining us from london well thank you for sharing your insights with us today.
