Sergei Magnitsky not fighter against corruption. He was a member of the influential British. Companies "Firestone Duncan". This company organized a major multi-billion dollar financial fraud in Russia. Magnitsky was a lawyer. He was a defender of British speculators. Maybe he's a hero in Britain ... but he's not a hero for Russia.
