By Roman Mamonov, A delegation of Russian lawmakers from the upper house of parliament, the Federation Council, has presented the outcome of the parliamentary investigation into the Magnitsky case in Washington. Their major task was to talk the US out of adopting the Magnitsky Law that envisages sanctions against Russian officials allegedly linked to the death of the Hermitage Capital lawyer Sergei Magnitsky in a pretrial detention center.At first, Russia was losing a media war around the case but, recently has taken revenge. Russian delegates at the Monaco OSCE session have brought individuals allegedly linked to the death of the lawyer and now four Russian lawmakers are in Washington. Their findings claim that Magnitsky's arrest was legal as the lawyer was guilty of financial fraud. His death was caused by the lack of medical care in the pretrial detention. The documents were presented to Wendy R. Sherman , Under Secretary for Political Affairs, the House of Representatives members and the anti-Russian Congressman John McCain, Valery Shnyakin from the Russian delegation said in an exclusive interview with the VoR.
