....and in one bound he's free!
The sixth time the Russians have tried to get him arrested by Interpol, and the second time they have succeeded.
He's really got under Putin's skin.
Yet another russian journalist critical of Putin assassinated yesterday. As Browder it's it himself, Putin cannot afford not to be in power, as soon as he loses power he would be in deep shit, so he is prepared to go to ant length to cling on to it
Browder's "Red Notice" is a very good read about the Magnitsky Act and why Putin hates it so much. He's also been on lots of podcasts telling the story (not Putin).
If Browder's story is true, and western governments are going along with it as he has indisputable evidence, then it suggests that the view of Russia being crooked is actually spot on.
Why didn't they try to poison him? It would have been a lot easier if Putin was so desparate to have him silenced.
The number of journalists who have been killed in recent years would suggest otherwise. Like the one who repeatedly fell over drunk in his hotel room in Vegas, or another who accidentally fell out of his tower block apartment window shortly after russian secret services arrived
Are people suggesting Russia kills people ?
