He was 37 years old and married with two young children. The Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012 targeted those who participated in related liability concealment efforts. financially benefited from Sergei Magnitskys detention. abuse. or death. or were involved in the criminal conspiracy uncovered by Magnitsky. or were responsible for extrajudicial killings. torture. or other human rights violations committed against individuals seeking to expose illegal activity carried out by Russian officials. or against persons seeking to promote human rights and freedoms. The Act directed the Secretaries of State and Treasury to annually report to Congress on actions taken to implement the Act. including rejecting visa applications. revoking existing visas. and blocking property transactions. for persons the President put on the Magnitsky List. The United States is a land of opportunity. but it should not be for those who misused and murdered Sergei Magnitsky. Without the original Magnitsky Act. the government officials and businesspeople who perpetrated crimes against a young man. against a major international firm. and against even the Russian people themselves by stealing from them. could have taken their illgotten gains and come to this country to purchase property and live the good life that the United States offers.
