New York Times reports:  Attorney Sergei Magnitsky died in a Russian prison after allegedly accusing the police of stealing $230 million in fraudulent tax rebates.  

Mr. Magnitsky’s death led Congress to blacklist Russian officials for rights abuses causing the Russians to retaliate by banning US Citizens from adopting.  

A new documentary – The Magnitsky Act – suggests Mr. Magnitsky was not attempting to blow the whistle but was an accomplice in the theft.
