...Magnitsky died in a Moscow prison after accusing Russian officials of hijacking the hedge fund run by U.S.-born Bill Browder and then using the firm’s name to steal $230 million from Russia’s treasury. Thanks to Browder’s lobbying, the Magnitsky laws allow our government to restrict U.S. travel and freeze the assets of individuals who have been found to have committed gross violations of human rights.
If Saudi culpability is established, we could soon be talking about who’s on the Magnitsky list, rather than who is no longer on the guest list for Davos in the Desert.
