PACE called on European countries to adopt laws similar to the "Magnitsky act"
The parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) approved a resolution calling for Council members to adopt laws similar to the " Magnitsky act ".

the originator of the document in favor of the British MP Donald Anderson." for "the resolution voted 95 parliamentarians, "against" - three, six abstained.

in the document, the Assembly again expressed its agreement with the commitment to battle impunity regarding the perpetrators of violations of human rights and the battle against illegal activity of officials.

PACE specifies as the source of the resolution adopted in 2014, " impunity for the killers of Sergei Magnitsky ", which is the appeal to the competent Russian authorities to conduct a full disclosure of the details of His death and to bring vinovich to justice.

in the Assembly believe that " the government of Russia has made little progress in prosecuting and benefiting from the lawlessness committed against Sergei Magnitsky."

the document Also mentions that some countries, including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, UK, Canada and the United States, adopted the "Magnitsky laws" that allow their governments to impose targeted penalties on persons who committed significant violations of human rights.

It is noted that the potential laws and legal instruments have an obligation to provide a fair and transparent procedure for imposition of penalties. Along with This it is reported about the possibility to challenge the sanctions in court.

PACE believes that the targeted penalties regarding individuals is preferable to the General economic punishments or other penalties. The Assembly also urged countries to refrain " from cooperating in any politically motivated prosecution related to the Magnitsky case, for example, regarding His former client William Browder ", convicted in absentia in Russia for tax fraud.

in addition, PACE said that " Browder, who has campaigned around the world against impunity continues to be prosecuted by the Russian authorities, for example through repeated and ill-treatment to the procedure of the red notice of Interpol."

Despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of PACE members voted in support of the decision, there were those who expressed criticism of the document. So, the Deputy from the Netherlands Henk Overbeck, representing the group of the United left, said they would not support the resolution.

"ought to prosecute human rights violators, perpetrators of bribery, which undermine the rule of law. But there are serious doubts as to whether to apply this kind of resolution in order to achieve the result ", - He said.

The death of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky in a Moscow jail in 2009 provoked an international scandal, which led to the adoption in the U.S. " Magnitsky act ". This legislation States imposed penalties on a number of Russian citizens, which they considered involved in the death of the auditor. In Russia believe that the law was completely inspired by financier Ulama Browder, who was Magnitsky's employer, and deny the introduction to the death of a lawyer.

According to published in 2011, the conclusions of the Investigation Department, 37-year-old Magnitsky died from acute heart failure, cerebral edema and the lungs, caused by the complications 2 of His chronic diseases: cardiomyopathy in diabetes mellitus and hepatitis.

Browder is an international financier and investor, former chief auditor Sergei Magnitsky. 1995-2007 Browder was the largest foreign portfolio investor in Russia, now lives in London.

in 2013, Browder was convicted in Russia for tax fraud. The court found that Magnitsky in the interests of Browder from 1997 to 2002 implemented the illegal scheme of tax evasion, using firms registered in Kalmykia, and were under the control of Hermitage Capital. He's not going to return to the Russian Federation, for this reason, the sentence correspondence - the ability to execute It will occur only if Browder will be in Russia.

by the end of 2017, the Tver Court of the capital of Russia has recognized Browder guilty of tax evasion and deliberate bankruptcy of the company " Distant steppe ", But did not tighten the period of redemption in nine years, obtained by the previous sentence.

in 2018, the Prosecutor's office said on excitation of new criminal case against Browder. His blame in the creation of the criminal fraternity. In addition, the Commissioners of GP revealed fresh information about the death of Magnitsky and other supporters of the financier." Very likely " is the version of the poisoning of toxic substances.
