| Hermitage Capital's William Browder on Natalia Veselnitskaya (Video) |
| 2017-07-13 |
Browder said the threats stemmed from legislation he has lobbied for aimed at sanctioning officials believed to be involved in the death of Russian Sergei Magnitsky. He also said he knows Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr., and that she "had an agenda coming from the top of the Russian government."

| #1 Forbes: Lawyer With Key Evidence In Russian Corruption Scandals Falls From Building Before Testifying Excerpt: Browder had previously remarked to The New York Times, that "[b]asically, there is a trail of dead and seriously injured people leading from the Magnitsky case." I asked him whether he worried about his own safety, especially in light of recent events. He still receives a number of direct and indirect death threats, he says. They are, he said, "from the Russian government." I asked him to clarify whether he meant the Russian mob. "You're making a mistake that a lot of Americans make," he explained, saying there is "not a difference between government and organized crime in Russia." I guess maybe it's too many Goodfellas movies but the American perception is that the mob is a bunch of guys walking around in leather jackets killing people. The difference is, Browder says, that in Russia today, "it's people walking around in Armani suits - and they work for the Ministry of the Interior." |
