Bill Browder was the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005,
when he was denied entry to the country for exposing corruption in
Russian state-owned companies. Browder's colleague Sergei
Magnitsky uncovered a massive tax scam totalling hundreds of
billions of dollars, and the officials he accused of stealing the
funds threw him into jail, where he was beaten, tortured, and then
died in custody in 2009. Browder decided to act, pushing for
accountability of those involved in Magnitsky’s death. Browder’s
activism has led to the passing of the Global Magnitsky Act, which
authorizes the US government to sanction international government
officials believed to be behind human rights violations. Julia
Macfarlane sits down with Browder to discuss his work targeting
corrupt Russian officials while Sir Richard Dearlove, former head
of Britain's Mi6, shares his insight on the complex trails of
Russian money, who's hiding it, and who has access to it.
