Bill Browder was the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005, when he was expelled from the country and declared a threat to national security. In 2007, my offices in Moscow were raided by the Russian police, who seized all of our documents. I hired a young Russian lawyer named Sergei Magnitsky to investigate, and he discovered that the documents had been used in a complex $230 million tax rebate fraud. Putin was directly involved in the cover-up of Sergeis murder, and we have since discovered that Putin himself was a financial beneficiary of the fraud.
