Magnitsky Act

The Magnitsky Act, extracted from the files of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
''The Magnitsky Act, formally known as the Russia and Moldova Jackson–Vanik Repeal and Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012, is a bipartisan bill passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Obama in December 2012, intending to punish Russian officials responsible for the death of Russian tax accountant Sergei Magnitsky in a Moscow prison in 2009.

Since 2016 the bill, which applies globally, "authorizes governments to sanction human rights offenders in Russia, freeze their foreign assets, and ban them from entering the signing country."[1]

Background[edit]

In 2009, Russian tax accountant Sergei Magnitsky died in a Moscow prison after investigating a $230 million fraud involving Russian tax officials.[2] Magnitsky was accused of committing the fraud himself and detained.[2] While in prison, Magnitsky developed gall stones, pancreatitis and calculous cholecystitis and was refused medical treatment for months. After almost a year of imprisonment, he was beaten to death while in custody.[3][4][5] Bill Browder, a prominent American-born businessman and friend of Magnitsky, publicized the case and lobbied American officials to pass legislation sanctioning Russian individuals involved in corruption. Browder brought the case to Senators Benjamin Cardin and John McCain who proceeded to propose legislation.[6]

Law[edit]

In June 2012, the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs reported to the House a bill called the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012 (H.R. 4405).[7] The main intention of the law was to punish Russian officials who were thought to be responsible for the death of Sergei Magnitsky by prohibiting their entrance to the United States and their use of its banking system.[8] The legislation was taken up by a Senate panel the next week, sponsored by Senator Ben Cardin, and cited in a broader review of the mounting tensions in the international relationship.[9][10]

In November 2012, provisions of the Magnitsky bill were attached to a House bill (H.R. 6156) normalizing trade with Russia (i.e., repealing the Jackson–Vanik amendment) and Moldova.[11] On December 6, 2012, the U.S. Senate passed the House version of the law, 92-4.[8] The law was signed by President Barack Obama on December 14, 2012.[12][13][14][15][16]

In 2016, Congress enacted the Global Magnitsky Act which allows the US Government to sanction foreign government officials implicated in human rights abuses anywhere in the world.[17] "


-Why this is done like that?  The intention is to show the public how does Vladimir Putin is governing Russia.  Russia is a beautiful natural rich territory, even much natural rich than that of the United States of America, but, there is a but worth to mention: maladjusted in its management by almost all its politicians, been its last one a mad man by name of Vladimir Putin who is responsible for who knows how many deaths of Russian nationals committed by the KGB while Putin was one assigned to kill those that could oppose the Communist government of that time.

After the Communist government of Russia felt by its own weight, Putin, some time after, inherited (he was not chosen by votes) the defunct system  …and became its ruler since that time, still its ruler as of now; so, Putin keeps killing Russians nationals: anyone who could oppose his government due to the abuses committed by him: Vladimir Putin.  Now he is having secret one to one conversation with President Donald J. Trump with the intention not only to kill other Russian national, but to arrest American nationals and possible, who knows what.

…as of now, actual Russia’s “President, Vladimir Putin”, is governing that territory with a  soft iron glove, he tight on its grips as he conveniences; kill anyone, as he conveniences, name any one in government, as he conveniences and make Russia’s laws, as he conveniences …and got the President of the United States of America: as he conveniences.
