Unbearable "case of Magnitsky"

Investigation of the criminal case on the withdrawal of 5.4 billion rubles stolen from the budget of the Russian Federation, the Swiss want to close, and the arrested accounts are defrosted

On November 6, the Swiss Federal Prosecutor's Office kindly informed Hermitage Capital Management - Bill Brower, who was working in prison Sergey Magnitsky, - that a criminal case on laundering Russian budget money withdrawn from the country will be terminated in the near future, the arrested accounts are intention to defrost and return the money to return the money Owners are almost completely.

From the letter of the prosecutor's office

“Le ministere public ... Envisage Les Mesures Suivantes: 1. Le Classement de la Pocedure au Sens des Art. 319ss CPP " - i.e. “The prosecutor's office involves the adoption of the following measures: 1. Closing the procedure (investigation. - Ed. ) In the sense of articles 319 and sl. Code of Criminal Procedure of Switzerland. "

Article 319 involves the closure of the criminal case on the following grounds:

• Lack of evidence,

• lack of a composition or event of a crime,

• The lack of legal grounds for the criminal prosecution of a given person, etc.

Other possible procedural outcomes are the imposition of a fine by the prosecution authorities (with the possibility of contesting in court) and the transfer of the case to the court.

Such a decision of the Swiss looks strange and goes into dissonance with the policy of law enforcement agencies of other states that have adopted or are going to adopt laws similar to the American "Act of Magnitsky". Besides

It became known about such an intention in virtually the anniversary of the terrible death in the Russian prison of Sergei Magnitsky.

Sergey Magnitsky died on November 16, 2009 in the Sailor Sailor pre -trial detention center under circumstances that have not been officially clarified. As those who, with the help of police officers, the Investigative Committee, the FSB, courts and tax inspectorates, robbed the country have not been held accountable. Only Hermitage is looking for 5.4 billion rubles from Russia - the company of Brauder, the British of American origin, who is judged in absentia for this, as well as the deceased Magnitsky. Although it was Magnitsky, the auditor and lawyer, attracted by Hermitage, who opened the theft scheme.

The stolen money went for a walk around the world. According to Hermitage, checks and investigations began in the USA, France, a number of other countries, including Switzerland.

In Switzerland, prosecutors drew attention to $ 7 million businessman Denis Katsy (Perevison Holdings, which, according to European and American prosecutors, could be in this scheme). Now the Swiss intends to confiscate only about $ 70,000 of this money.

Vladlen Stepanov, a former husband hiding from Russia by the chief of the Moscow Tax Inspectorate No. 28, which authorized the refund of allegedly excessively paid taxes (Faradin Systems company), is supposed to be left under arrest until the recovery of 9 million euros from the discovered 9 million.

Similarly, symbolic amounts - about 50,000 and $ 10,000, respectively, are confiscated from Ashby Invest & Finance and Upjet Ltd.

All other accounts arrested in this case are completely defrosted, which means that Dmitry Klyuyev will also receive full access to their assets at the Swiss Bank, whose universal banking bank was conducted from the Russian budget.

The “New” spoke about the strange love of the Swiss and Russian prosecutors in the recent article “Prosecutor for Escort”.

Recall. It turned out that the prosecutor of the Swiss Federal Prosecutor's Office Lamon and his employee Vincenz Schneell flew on an airplane provided by the Russian Prosecutor General, at the expense of the department, then Yuri Chaika Lamon, rested in Baikal from Russian deputy prosecutor Saak Karapetyan, and the employee who directly investigated the money by the defendants in the “Magnitsky affairs”, Vincenza Schneelle He traveled several times at the expense of wealthy Russian owners to hunt in the Yaroslavl region and Kamchatka.

During the hunt, Schneell received from Russian prosecutors to explain why he looked doubtful and inaccurate to the PACE report on the concealment of the Prosecutor General of Data in the Magnitsky case, which was prepared by the Swiss deputy Andreas Gross.

The same Vincenz Schneell flew to Moscow for meetings with the leadership of the Prosecutor General’s Office, but instead of official events, he suddenly found himself in the company with a lawyer Katskov Veselnitskaya, the very one whose surname was repeatedly mentioned by journalists as part of the Russian trace investigations in the American elections. Schnelle's behavior became the subject of study for his Swiss colleagues, but he escaped with a fine.

And now the case of laundering the money Swiss is to cover that the strangest thing is to cover up, in fact, recognizing the dubious origin of some of the money arrested.

Otherwise, there would have been no confiscation.

And funny amounts were formed due to the doctrine of "dilution of stolen ones." Say, if you stole a ruble, then from unknown sources you received 9 rubles, and put a ruble in the Swiss bank, what part of the funds should be considered stolen? The correct answer is 10 cents! Because stolen money could be mixed with "incomprehensible."

Further, the Swiss prosecutor’s office proposed Hermitage by December 8 - the term after which it is expected to accept the order on the termination of the criminal case - to prove that he suffered damage from the “previous crime, which is issued in Russia”, or part with the procedural status as part of the investigation of the Magnitsky case.

Russian, therefore, judicial acts. Prove. What. Russian FSIN and other security forces tortured Magnitsky. I. someone who managed the killers stole $ 230 million from the Russian treasury.

And the Swiss prosecutors did not try to apply for an expert assessment to science fiction writers?

In addition, as the Russian prosecutor’s office will answer for such a request, we already know. She had already responded to the American prosecutor's office during a similar trial in the case of Denis Katzov in New York. So she answered: Katsov was not accused of anything in Russia.

What is pure truth. However, the trial in the United States ended still by the fact that Katsyv paid $ 6 million a fine to the American government.

However, there is another version of the prosecutor’s answer. After all, Magnitsky was accused of theft of this money in Russia. Posthumously.
