The US businessman who made life hard for the Guptas

US businessman Bill Browder went from Russia’s biggest foreign investor to its biggest corruption fighter. It was his lawyer Sergei Magnitsky who paid the price. Since Magnitsky’s death in police custody, Browder has made it his life’s goal to prevent corrupt governments and people from moving their dirty gains offshore. This led to the Magnitsky Act, which allows the US to impose sanctions on foreigners suspected of human rights crimes, and enables bad guys like the Guptas to be punished worldwide. https://blog.fraudcracker.com/us-businessman-helped-make-life-hard-for-the-guptas/ #MagnitskyAct #BillBrowder #fightcorruption
