Magnitsky Death Case Closed

The criminal case into the death of Sergey Magnitsky, a lawyer for Hermitage Capital, has been closed for “the absence of a crime,” Russia’s Investigative Committee announced. The investigation revealed that the criminal prosecution of Magnitsky was conducted on legal grounds, that his detention was in accordance with Russia’s legal norms and that he was not subjected to violence or torture while in detention, the committee said in a statement. The case was initiated shortly after Magnitsky died in a Moscow detention center in November 2009. Meanwhile, the posthumous criminal case against Magnitsky himself continues.
