Russian Official With Ties to Lawyer in Trump Tower Meeting Dies in Helicopter Crash
October 5th, 2018Via: The Hill:
A Russian deputy attorney general, who is thought to have directed Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya in her efforts abroad on behalf of Russia’s government, reportedly died Wednesday night in a helicopter crash.
The Daily Beast reported that Saak Albertovich Karapetyan was aboard an unauthorized helicopter flight, which crashed near the village of Vonyshevo, outside of Moscow.
Karapetyan was reportedly behind Veselnitskaya’s global efforts to lobby lawmakers to overturn anti-corruption acts such as the U.S. Magnitsky Act, which passed in 2012. The U.S. legislation is similar to others around the world which commemorate Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer who died while trying to expose a $230 million fraud scheme in Russia. The acts have reportedly incensed Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The link is to an interview/transcript with William Engdahl on his book, Manifest Destiny: Democracy as Cognitive Dissonance, and focuses on chapter 3, The Rape of Russia.

The Magnitsky Act was spearheaded into US law by hedge fund manager William Browder, who Russia claims was one of the infamous looting oligarchs of the 90’s, who scooped up most of Russia’s assets for less than a penny on the dollar during that decade. Magnitsky was his Russian lawyer/accountant who died in a Russian prison after supposedly “trying to expose a $230 million fraud scheme in Russia”. After reading Engdahl describe how Browder/Magitsky were being run by the CIA/Soros/Harvard University crew, it seems more likely he was a loose end being tied up, instead of a Putin victim.
Hedge fund manager Alex Kraimer wrote a book on Browder which has been effectively suppressed:

Russian film maker Andrei Nekrasov’s documentary The Magnitsky Act has been very thoroughly suppressed, but can be found online with a bit of effort. He started on the project pro-Browder/anti-Putin, but discovered during the process that things were not as they appeared.
@NH Yes, indeed.
