All you need to know about the Magnitsky Act

 

American-born British businessman Bill Browder did not set out to expose Russian money laundering operations and link President Vladimir Putin to those schemes. But after Browder’s Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was arrested and found dead in his jail cell, the gloves were off.

Browder lobbied Congress for years until the Magnitsky Act was passed in 2012, allowing the United States to sanction individuals suspected of human rights abuses, including Russian judges, Saudis involved in the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and Chinese officials linked to the abuse of Uighurs.

His book "Freezing Order - A True Story of Russian Money Laundering, State-Sponsored Murder,and Surviving Vladimir Putin's Wrath" is more explosive, compulsive and gasp-inducingly, spine-tinglingly, mouth-dryingly, and heart-poundingly thrilling than any fiction you will have read for years - and it is all true! For a preview, click here.

Get yourself a copy of "Freezing Order" - even Big W sells it now! - or you may start with its prequel "Red Notice - A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice" which is no longer available at Big W but you can get them both at booktopia.com.au.
