Two tax officials accused of embezzlement by Magnitsky out of Russia – FSB report in court

Interfax

Two former tax service officials whom Sergei Magnitsky, a Hermitage Capital lawyer, suspected shortly before dying at a Moscow prison of embezzling about 5.4 billion rubles from the budget, have left Russia.

This information became known at a Tuesday session of the Basmanny District Court hearing an appeal by Magnitsky’s colleague, Jamison Firestone, against investigators’ inaction.

Firestone, in particular, complained that law enforcement bodies failed to detain tax service officials Olga Tsaryova and Yelena Anisimova to probe their possible involvement in the embezzlement scheme.

A report presented at the court by the Federal Security Service (FSB) says that Tsaryova and Anisimova had left Russian territory, and therefore an investigator could not present them with summons to take part in a pretrial investigation.

“Anisimova and Tsaryova left Russian territory in a private car belonging to Anisimova’s husband in the Belgorod region area on May 25,” the report says.

Firestone’s lawyer Alexander Antipov explained to the court that, before leaving Russia, Tsaryova and Anisimova had bought expensive real estate in Dubai.

Antipov claimed that, not long before his death in prison, Magnitsky revealed evidence of Tsaryova’s and Anisimova’s involvement in the embezzlement of 5.4 billion rubles from the budget through a tax refund scheme. займ онлайн hairy woman https://zp-pdl.com https://zp-pdl.com/how-to-get-fast-payday-loan-online.php buy over the counter medicines
