"The Federal Attorney's Office can confirm that the investigation did not uncover any evidence that would substantiate the charges against anyone in Switzerland," the report said.
Thus, it was decided to close the procedure.
At the same time, it was decided to confiscate more than $ 4.3 million from previously frozen accounts in favor of the state, "taking into account the fact that a connection was established between some of the assets seized in Switzerland and the main crime committed in Russia."
A criminal investigation was opened in March 2011 based on information from the British company Hermitage Capital Managment, founded by William Browder, as well as "reports of suspicion of money laundering," the press release said.
Sergei Magnitsky was arrested in Russia in 2008 on charges of creating tax evasion schemes for the founder of the US-British businessman William Browder.
In 2009, Magnitsky died in prison from heart failure.
After the death of the lawyer, Browder said that he allegedly exposed the facts of corruption in the Russian elite, and his death was a contract political assassination.
Subsequently, Browder initiated the creation of the Magnitsky Act, passed by the US Congress in December 2012, which provides for the application of sanctions against a number of Russian officials and law enforcement officials who, according to Washington, were involved in the death of Magnitsky. Similar laws have been adopted by the authorities of Great Britain, Canada, and the Baltic countries.
