Beschreibung
A true story of money laundering, murder, and how to survive Putin's wrath. When Bill Browder uncovered a $230 million tax fraud in Russia, he found himself caught in a whirlwind of events that made him one of the Kremlin's main enemies. After the violent death of his lawyer Sergei Magnitsky in a Moscow prison, he gave up his career as an investor and began to fully pursue justice for those responsible for his friend's death. He proposed the so-called Magnitsky Act, which would allow governments to take action against corrupt officials anywhere in the world. Putin's regime immediately launched a counterattack. It pursued Browder across Europe and the U.S. and sought his extradition to Russia, where he would likely meet the same fate as Magnitsky. It also spent tens of millions of dollars to undermine him in U.S. and British courts. Browder's story resembles a political thriller, yet it describes real events that serve as a chilling testimony to the workings of Putin's kleptocracy.
