Krátky popis
November 2009. An emaciated young lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, is led
to a freezing isolation cell in a Moscow prison, handcuffed to a
bed rail, and beaten to death by eight police officers. His crime?
To testify against the Russian Interior Ministry officials who were
involved in a conspiracy to steal $230 million of taxes paid to the
state by one of the world’s most successful hedge funds.
Magnitsky’s brutal killing has remained uninvestigated and
unpunished to this day. His farcical posthumous show-trial brought
Putin's regime to a new low in the eyes of the international
community. Red Notice is a searing exposé of the wholesale
whitewash by Russian authorities of Magnitsky’s imprisonment and
murder, slicing deep into the shadowy heart of the Kremlin to
uncover its sordid truths. Bill Browder – the hedge fund manager
who employed Magnitsky – takes us on his explosive journey from the
heady world of finance in New York and London in the 1990s, through
his battles with ruthless oligarchs in the turbulent landscape of
post-Soviet Union Moscow, to his expulsion from Russia on Putin’s
orders. Browder’s graphic portrait of the Russian government as a
criminal enterprise wielding all the power of a sovereign state
illuminates his personal transformation from financier to human
rights activist, campaigning for justice for his late lawyer and
friend. With fraud, bribery, corruption and torture exposed at
every turn, Red Notice is a shocking but true political
roller-coaster that plays out in the highest echelons of Western
power. Bill Browder, founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital
Management, was the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005,
when he was denied entry to the country after exposing widespread
corruption. Since 2009, when his lawyer Sergei Magnitsky was
murdered in Russian police custody, he has been leading a global
campaign to expose human rights abuses endemic in Russia.
Consequentially, the ‘Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability
Act’ was signed into US law in 2012, imposing visa bans and asset
freezes on certain officials involved in Magnitsky’s death. Browder
is currently working to have similar legislation passed across the
European Union and Canada
