Earlier this Spring, at the TAGLaw and TIAG International Conference in Boston, Jamison Firestone of FDS Law (Moscow, Russia) brought the attendees up to date on his tireless efforts to hold accountable the Russian officials complicit in the tax fraud that his former partner, Sergei Magnitsky sought to expose.  Mr. Magnitsky was imprisoned for these efforts and later died in prison, almost four years ago.

Earlier in July, in an action labeled "the height of absurdity" by Amnesty International's UK head of policy and governmental affairs and "shameful" by the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez, Mr. Magnitsky was posthumously convicted of tax evasion by a Russian court.  Shortly after the death of Mr. Magnitsky,  TAGLaw, with the unanimous support of its Advisory Board, sent a letter of protest to then president Medvedev.  TAG president Bob Sattin was later interviewed on Moscow radio about the letter of protest.
