Sergei Magnitsky
Sergei Magnitsky was a Russian tax advisor and lawyer who became known for his role in uncovering a massive tax fraud scheme involving Russian government officials. His findings led to his arrest in 2008, during which he was subjected to severe mistreatment and ultimately died in custody in 2009. Magnitsky's death sparked international outrage and led to the adoption of the Magnitsky Act in the United States, which imposes sanctions on individuals involved in human rights abuses. His case has become emblematic of the broader issues of corruption and repression in Russia.
