MOSCOW ? A new report claims a Russian lawyer who died in prison was tortured and deliberately denied medical treatment, and that the official investigation covered it up.
Sergei Magnitsky, who was arrested after accusing officials of corruption, died in November 2009 after the pancreatitis he developed in prison went untreated. Two prison doctors have been charged with negligence.
The 37-year-old had been arrested by the same Interior Ministry officials whom he had accused of using false tax papers to steal $230 million from the state.
The report released Monday was compiled by William Browder, a U.S.-born investor who owned and run Hermitage Capital Management, the investment fund where Magnitsky worked before his arrest.
Browder's report claims that the official probe that led to the negligence charges covered up the roles of other officials in Magnitsky's death.
