Hermitage Capital Lawyer

Hedge Fund's Lawyer Dies in Moscow Jail

The lawyer, a father of two, had written a 40-page complaint describing a serious medical condition that developed during his time in prison, but received no response, Hermitage said.

Hermitage has filed law suits and sent letters to Russian anti-corruption authorities, naming top-ranked officials and their role in the alleged tax scam. Browder's Russian visa was revoked in 2005 despite his company having once been the country's largest foreign investor.

The Russian interior ministry is seeking to have Browder returned to Russia for questioning. The executive was placed on the ministry's international wanted list on charges of tax evasion. 

According to the fund, criminals used a network of corrupt lawyers, police and judges to fake transactions making it appear that three profit-making Hermitage subsidiaries had turned a profit into losses – for which they demanded a tax rebate. The new owners of the stolen companies received Russia's biggest ever rebate within two days, Hermitage says.  Source
