“Five weeks after Sergei testified, the same officials whom he testified against arrested him, put him in pre-trial detention in Russia, where he was then tortured to get him to withdraw his testimony,” Browder (pictured) told CBS in 2022.

Magnitsky died in a Russian jail in 2009, allegedly after being beaten and denied medical care.

His name currently adorns the Magnitsky Act, the law that allows the US government to sanction foreign officials who are human rights offenders.

Putin has consistently said Magnitsky died of a heart attack.
