Natalya Pelevina: "Bastrykin's suicide"

“One thing is clear that the Investigative Committee is not a structure that helps establish the rule of law in Russia, but a punitive body used for reprisals.

The Investigative Committee closed the case of Magnitsky’s death, despite the fact that there is a report by Valery Borshchev, which indicates that Sergei Magnitsky did not die a natural death. There are witnesses and documents confirming this. Magnitsky's mother's lawyer was not allowed to subpoena these witnesses. The documents were not included.

The court and the Investigative Committee jointly carried out an operation to conceal the crime."
