MOSCOW — A prominent Western investor who has clashed with Russian authorities said Tuesday that a lawyer who advised his fund died in a Moscow jail after being denied medical care.
Russian attorney Sergei Magnitsky died Monday night in the Matrosskaya Tishina pretrial detention center after developing pancreatitis that was not treated, said William Browder, chief executive of London-based Hermitage Capital Management.
Magnitsky’s death is likely to deepen Western concerns about the risks faced by anyone who challenges the authorities in Russia.
